Mercedes Bunz lives in Berlin where she's Editor-In-Chief at Tagesspiegel Online. Always fond of the web and later inspired by Wired she cofounded DEBUG in 1997, the magazine for digital life aspects, which she lead together with Sascha Koesch until 2002. She then obtained her PhD from the Bauhaus University working on the early history of the net which is currently being published by Kadmos. After all the years she never lost the original passion.
