Benjamin Mitchell was born on a Canadian military base in occupied Germany during the Cold War. At the age of four, he and his family moved to rural Nova Scotia, Canada, where they remained for the rest of his formative years. He is currently completing his PhD in Science and Technology Studies at York University, where he studies the thought of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in the context of nineteenth century science. He also works on the relationship between science and the occult in England and Germany.
