Jason Page is a multifaceted author, technologist and artist shaped by a rich and diverse heritage, born to Jewish and Catholic parents with a father who embraced atheism and a mother who nurtured a non-religious yet deeply spiritual outlook. His lineage boasts remarkable figures: his great-grandfather, William "Herbie" Page, a distinguished Ohio State Law professor who taught at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was known for his gentlemanly habit of tipping his hat to ladies and authoring works on wills; Charles Kenneth Leith, a lead geologist on the Manhattan Project during WWII, who played bridge with colleagues as Jason’s grandfather visited as a child; and the Amberg family, inventors of the file cabinet and namesakes of a Wisconsin town.
Despite navigating the challenges of schizophrenia and emotional turbulence throughout much of his adult life, Jason has channeled his experiences into a profound exploration of humanity’s place in the universe. His passions—unveiling hidden truths, embracing metaphysical inquiry, and expressing himself through music, writing, and visual art—define his creative output. His early books delve into the raw realities of mental hospitalizations, personal accounts of schizophrenia, and thought-provoking reflections on conspiracy, love, and the nature of reality. A robust pipeline of forthcoming works includes Wills, an exploration of the metaphysical distinction between will and free will, and the quantum foundations of consciousness, alongside new editions of his existing titles.
Beyond writing, Jason is a dynamic force in community and creative spaces. For over ten years, he has served as an engineer for que4 radio and a producer for Chicago Independent Television on CAN-TV and Free Speech TV for five years. As the founder of Aleatory Records, he champions chance-based art through a net label and marketing platform, fostering a hub for innovative artistic expression. Additionally, through his Laptop Ministry, Jason refurbishes Linux laptops to provide technology access to underserved communities in Chicago, embodying his commitment to social good and creative freedom.
