I am a writer. I am currently writing my first book, The Jewish Question: A Hidden History of a Modern People, for Liveright/W.W. Norton, a history of modern Jewish identity across five centuries. I also write Both/And (Subscribe!), a weekly newsletter on identity politics, psychedelics, geopolitics, and whatever else won't leave me alone.

My career has taken me through newsrooms and editorial projects on four continents. I was Senior Editor of Exponential View, a weekly newsletter about technology and its impact on society, Editor-in-Chief of emerge85, an economics project focused emerging markets, comment editor and columnist at The National, and Monocle's Istanbul Bureau Chief and Eastern Mediterranean Correspondent. I co-founded +972 Magazine, where I was a contributing editor.

My print work has appeared in GQ, MIT Technology Review, Bloomberg Businessweek, The Nation, Slate, London Review of Books, Los Angeles Review of Books, Salon, Tablet, and the German edition of Le Monde Diplomatique.
