Franklin Foer (/ˈfɔːr/; born July 20, 1974) is a staff writer at The Atlantic and former editor of The New Republic, commentating on contemporary issues from a liberal perspective.[1][2]
Personal life
Foer was born in 1974[3] to a Jewish family.[4][5] He is the son of Albert Foer, a lawyer, and Esther Safran Foer. He is the elder brother of novelist Jonathan Safran Foer as well as freelance journalist Joshua Foer.[6] He graduated from Columbia University[7] in 1996 and lives in Washington, D.C.
Career
Foer has written for Slate[8] and New York magazine.[9] He served as editor of American magazine The New Republic from 2006 until 2010, when he resigned — by his subsequent account, because of exhaustion over an interminable search for a patron who could save the magazine.[10] He then became editor again in 2012, recruited by new patron Chris Hughes.[10][11] His book How Soccer Explains the World was published in 2004.[12] The book Jewish Jocks, which he co-edited with New Republic writer Marc Tracy, was published in 2012. It won a National Jewish Book Award in 2012. Foer has described it as an effort to avoid the "simple hagiography" he found in some of the many existing books about Jewish sports figures.[13][14][15]
Foer was editor of The New Republic during the Scott Thomas Beauchamp controversy.[16] His firing in December 2014 by New Republic owner Chris Hughes and his replacement by former Gawker editor Gabriel Snyder provoked an editorial crisis that culminated in the resignation from the magazine of two-thirds of the people on its masthead.[17]
In 2017 Foer published World Without Mind: The Existential Threat of Big Tech, which was named a New York Times 100 Notable Books of 2017.[18][19] Using Facebook, Amazon, Google, and Apple as case studies, World Without Mind argues for a closer examination for the role of technology in our lives, particularly the ways it is shaping the values of individuals globally.
