I am a journalist based in Southern California. My writing has appeared in print or online in the New Yorker, the New York Review of Books, The Nation, the Washington Post, the Times Literary Supplement, and The Guardian, among other publications. I am the author of Personal Stereo, which was named one of Pitchfork’s favorite music books of 2017, and The G Ring, a Kindle single.

I was previously a contributing writer for the Boston Globe’s Ideas section and a contributing editor at Dissent. My work has received support from the Robert B. Silvers Foundation, the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, and UC Irvine’s Newkirk Center for Science and Society.

My new book, Atomic Dreams: The New Nuclear Evangelists and the Fight for the Future of Energy, will be published in April by Algonquin Books.
