Franklin Foer Biography

Franklin Foer is an American journalist whose work explores the intersection of politics, culture, technology, and global affairs. As a staff writer at The Atlantic, Foer previously served as editor of The New Republic. He has been recognized for his influence in liberal journalism by The Daily Beast.

Foer is the author of "How Soccer Explains the World," a book that examines how soccer reflects international relations, cultural conflicts, and the global economy. The Wall Street Journal described the book as insightful and entertaining. It has been translated into multiple languages and was named one of the five most influential sports books of the decade by Sports Illustrated. The book is frequently included in college and university curricula.

Foer's subsequent book, "World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech," offers a critique of the influence of major technology companies such as Google, Apple, and Facebook on culture and society. The book was recognized by The New York Times and Los Angeles Times as one of the best books of the year. In "World Without Mind," Foer analyzes the impact of automation and homogenization driven by the tech industry and discusses the broader implications for society.

Foer also authored "The Last Politician: Inside Joe Biden's White House and the Struggle for America's Future," which became a New York Times bestseller. The book provides an insider account of President Joe Biden's administration, drawing on extensive background interviews. "The Last Politician" includes detailed reporting on events such as the withdrawal from Afghanistan and the White House's response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, offering insights into the workings of the American presidency.

Foer delivers commentary on economics, globalization, the technology industry, and the political climate. His reporting covers topics ranging from politics and technology to immigration, economics, liberalism, and sports. Foer's work is recognized for its depth of reporting and analysis, making him a notable voice in journalism and public discourse.
