His published essays on Jean Baudrillard - especially in the International Journal of Baudrillard Studies - have contributed to a change in public perception about the importance of Baudrillard's work for culture, philosophy, and sociology.Shapiro has co-developed many of the core ideas of the emerging field of social choreography, contributing many essays to the field's most important journal, Choreograph.net. He is a founding member of the Institute for Social Choreography in Frankfurt. He has also contributed many essays to the journal of technology and society NoemaLab — on technological art, software theory, Computer Science 2.0, futuristic design, and the political philosophy of the information society,.In 2010-2011, Shapiro lectured on "The Car of the Future" at Transmediale in Berlin, Germany, and on robots and androids at Ars Electronica and at the Interface Culture lab of the Arts University in Linz, Austria.

Shapiro's entrepreneurial goal is to found a company that will be active in humanities informatics and Computer Science 2.0. Existing informatics tends to automate everything, and it is based only on the rational-calculating left brain (see Marshall McLuhan, The Global Village). A different informatics that incorporates the creativity and human knowledge of the entire brain is possible, Shapiro describes in Re-Thinking Science conducted by Ulrike Reinhard. Key texts published so far towards the invention of Computer Science 2.0 are: "Design for a Working Quantum Computer in Software", "The Paradigm of Object Spaces: Better Software is Coming" (co-author: Bernhard Angerer)., and "A Proposal for Developing Quantum Computing in Software" (co-author: Alexis Clancy).Shapiro was accepted at age 15 as an undergraduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He studied at MIT for 2 years. He received his B.A. from Cornell University, where he studied government and European Intellectual History. He has an M.A. in sociology from New York University (NYU). In a 10-page review-essay of his book Star Trek: Technologies of Disappearance, the journal Science Fiction Studies called his book one of the most original works in the field of science fiction theory. See also the extensive discussions of Star Trek: Technologies of Disappearance in Csicsery-Ronay's major reference work on science fiction studies, in The Routledge Companion to Science Fiction and in The Yearbook of English Studies.Shapiro has lived most of his life in the United States, but also 24 years in Europe (20 of them in Germany).".
