Hidden Heroes is a publishing initiative created to put the spotlight on the people who built the foundations of modern technology. It is written by an American popular science author and TV/podcast host Steven Johnson (author) and published by Netguru.
Hidden Heroes was launched in April 2022[1] with a live event in Meat Packing District, New York, during which Radia Perlman, one of the first innovators featured by the publication, was interviewed by the audience and the author himself.[2]
