Roose is an award-winning technology columnist for The New York Times and the bestselling author of three books, “Futureproof,” “Young Money” and “The Unlikely Disciple.” His column, “The Shift”, examines the intersection of tech, business, and culture. He is a recurring guest on The Daily podcast and appears regularly on leading TV and radio shows. He writes and speaks frequently on topics including automation and artificial intelligence, social media, disinformation and cybersecurity, and digital wellness.

In addition to Hard Fork, Roose is the host of the New York Times podcast Rabbit Hole, an eight-part series released in 2020 about how the internet is influencing our beliefs and behavior.

After college, Roose joined The New York Times, followed by New York magazine, and wrote the book “Young Money,” which chronicled the lives of eight junior Wall Street investment bankers right after the 2008 financial crisis. Before rejoining The Times in 2017, Roose produced and co-hosted a TV documentary series about technology, called Real Future.

At The Times, Roose writes about technology and its effects on society. Recently, that has meant a lot of coverage of companies like Facebook and YouTube, as well as profiles of internet personalities like PewDiePie, and social phenomena like online radicalization and workplace automation.
