Reeves Wiedeman is a contributing editor at New York magazine and has written for The New Yorker, Harper’s, Rolling Stone, and other publications, specializing in deeply reported narrative journalism.
His first book, Billion Dollar Loser (2020), drew on more than two hundred interviews to tell the gripping, darkly comic story of WeWork — the office-rental company that convinced the world’s biggest investors it was a world-changing tech startup worth $47 billion before its catastrophic failed IPO. A Sunday Times Business Book of the Year, it became one of the defining accounts of startup-era hubris and excess.
Wiedeman is recognized for his skill at turning complex business sagas into compulsively readable narratives.
