NED KELLY

Ned Kelly was one of Australia’s most infamous bushrangers, a figure who rides the border between outlaw and folk hero like a horse galloping through legend. Born in 1854 in Victoria to Irish convict parents, Kelly grew up in a world of poverty, tension, and simmering resentment toward colonial authorities. His early encounters with police shaped a deep distrust that would later ignite into rebellion.

Kelly’s notoriety peaked with the formation of the “Kelly Gang,” including his brother Dan and associates Joe Byrne and Steve Hart. The gang became known for bold bank robberies and their dramatic clashes with police. The most famous episode came in 1880 at the siege of Glenrowan, where Kelly wore a homemade suit of iron armour, transforming him into a near-mythical figure under gunfire.

Captured after the siege, Kelly was tried and hanged in Melbourne later that year at just 25 years old. His reported final words, “Such is life,” echo like a closing line in a rough-hewn epic. Today, Ned Kelly remains a powerful symbol in Australian culture, representing resistance, injustice, and the enduring allure of rebellion.

John (JC) Reardon: The Universal Curator

John Reardon (writing as JC Reardon) is a prolific Australian author and a foundational pioneer of the nation's technology sector. Often described as a "modern polymath," Reardon has transitioned from building the infrastructure of the digital age to documenting the vast breadth of human knowledge through an expansive bibliography that exceeds 200 titles.

A Legacy of Innovation

Before becoming a mainstay in Australian publishing, Reardon was a trailblazer in the tech industry. He founded one of Australia's first Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and operated the country's first domain name provider. This deep-rooted expertise in complex systems—ranging from satellite technology to the inner workings of the internet—serves as the backbone for his contemporary writing on science and the future of AI.

The "Wikipedia with a Voice"

Reardon's literary approach is defined by his role as a knowledge aggregator. Rather than pursuing narrow academic specialization, he adopts the role of a "Universal Curator," mapping the continuous story of human civilization across several key pillars:

Military History: Detailed chronicles of the ANZACs, the Spitfire, and the Battle of Trafalgar.

Big Human Systems: Insightful explorations of global faiths and secret societies, including Buddhism, Islam, the Catholic Church, and the Freemasons.

Technology & Science: Accessible guides on Voyager, the evolution of the internet, and the trajectory of AI.

Myth & Folklore: Investigations into the Loch Ness Monster and the Illuminati.

Writing Philosophy

Utilizing an "overview + narrative" structure, Reardon focuses on accessibility, repackaging dense technical and historical data into digestible, story-driven guides for a general audience. His high-volume publishing model treats each book as a "compact portal," inviting the curious to explore a diverse array of subjects through the lens of a man who helped build the digital world they inhabit today.
