Contributing Editor, Wired magazine (New York)
Frank Rose writes about the impact of technology on media and entertainment, covering such topics as the making of Avatar, Sony’s enormous gamble on the PlayStation 3, and the posthumous career of Philip K. Dick in Hollywood. Before joining Wired in 1999, he served as a contributing writer at Fortune and at Travel + Leisure and as a contributing editor at Esquire. His work has also appeared in New York Times, The New York Times Magazine, Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, and the Village Voice, where he got his start covering the punk scene at CBGB. He has led debates about the future of media at the Cannes Film Festival, South by Southwest, the UN’s World Summit on the Information Society, and numerous other venues. His 1989 best-seller West of Eden, about the ouster of Steve Jobs from Apple, was named one of the ten best business books of the year by BusinessWeek and has recently been republished in an updated edition. He is also the author of The Agency, an unauthorized history of the oldest and at one time most successful talent agency in Hollywood. His next book will be The Age of Immersion: Entertainment in a Connected World, an account of how the Internet is changing storytelling, to be published in early 2011 by W.W. Norton.
