Frank Rose is the author most recently of The Sea We Swim In: How Stories Work in a Data-Driven World, published in the US and the UK by W.W. Norton in 2021 and named one of the must-read nonfiction books of summer by the Next Big Idea Club. His previous book, The Art of Immersion: How the Digital Generation is Remaking Hollywood, Madison Avenue, and the Way We Tell Stories, was published by Norton in 2011 and hailed by the International Journal of Advertising as "an essential overview" of the fundamental changes affecting media. He has explored this theme as a keynote speaker at ad:tech Sydney, Sheffield Doc/Fest, and the Guardian's Changing Media Summit in London, and in talks at Google, Lucasfilm, Unilever, and elsewhere. A senior fellow at the Columbia University School of the Arts, he teaches global business executives as faculty director of its Strategic Storytelling program, presented in partnership with Columbia Business School Executive Education, and serves as awards director of its Digital Storytelling Lab. Before moving to Columbia, Frank spent many years reporting on the impact of technology on media as a contributing editor at Wired and a contributing writer at Fortune before that. His 1989 best-seller West of Eden, about the ouster of Steve Jobs from Apple, was named one of the ten best books of the year by Businessweek and has since been republished in an updated edition. Among his other books is The Agency, an unauthorized history of the oldest and at one time most successful talent agency in Hollywood. He lives in the East Village of Manhattan, where he got his start covering the punk scene at CBGB for The Village Voice.
