John J. Anderson (November 8, 1956 – October 17, 1989), or J.J. Anderson, was a writer and editor covering computers and technology. The New Jersey native was Executive Editor of Computer Shopper and Atari Explorer. At the time of his death he was an editor for MacUser magazine in Foster City, California.
