Monika Kanokova was born in the Czech Republic, and emigrated to Vienna as a young girl. Since graduating from college, she has called many cities across Europe and the U.S. home. As one of Austria's first bloggers, Monika recognised the power of the internet from an early age, and spent the rest of her twenties pursuing her passion for participatory community building through technology. This Year Will Be Different is her first venture into book publishing. It won't be her last.
