Charlie Warzel

Charlie Warzel is a staff writer at The Atlantic and author of Galaxy Brain, the publication's flagship newsletter on tech, media, and internet culture. A veteran of BuzzFeed News and The New York Times, he has spent over a decade mapping the collision of technology, power, and human behavior - from smartphone location tracking to AI hype cycles to Twitter's moderation failures. Co-author of 'Out of Office' with Anne Helen Petersen, Warzel writes from Lummi Island, Washington, with a voice that is analytical, empathetic, and stubbornly resistant to easy narratives.
