Josh On is a free-lance designer living in San Francisco. He is best known as the maker of several web projects such as The Anti War Game, Communiculture and especially They Rule and Exxon Secrets. These are interactive mapping systems that aim to provide a glimpse of some of the relationships of the US ruling class (They Rule) and the connections between the giant Exxon corporation and "scientific" anti-environmental think tanks.
