Derek Man Lui is a man blessed with this middle name. He is fascinated by how the Internet influences culture and vice versa, so he’s made it his mission to live inside different Internets and cultures.
Derek grew up in San Francisco on a diet of Nintendo, burritos and fog. He then spent nearly a decade in Shanghai and Beijing, where he made hot censored content behind the Great Firewall of China. Currently, he is studying British at Wieden + Kennedy London.
