Kevin Roose, a tech columnist at The New York Times, is joining The Atlantic as a contributing writer.
In a memo, editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg and executive editor Adrienne LaFrance wrote:
Kevin Roose is joining us as a contributing writer. Kevin, who comes to us from The New York Times, is among the most creative and ambitious journalists covering technology today. His obsessive curiosity about tech is evident in all that he does—and at times, technology is obsessed right back at him. (Recall the time a chatbot tried to break up his marriage.) In addition to his many years of daily reporting, Kevin is the author of four books—most recently, The AGI Chronicles, an excerpt of which is out today in The Atlantic. And he is a co-host of the podcast Machine Gods alongside Casey Newton. We are glad to count Kevin among the brilliant group of writers whose reporting and thinking will help guide us through this revolutionary moment in tech.
Roose is launching “Machine Gods” on NPR with Newton in 2027.
