Bryan Walsh
Senior Editorial Director, Future Perfect, Climate, Unexplainable and The Gray Area
Bryan Walsh is a senior editorial director at Vox overseeing the Future Perfect and climate teams, as well as the podcasts Unexplainable and The Gray Area. He is also the editor of Vox’s Future Perfect section, which covers the policies, people, and forces that could make the future a better place for everyone. He is the author of the 2019 book End Times: A Brief Guide to the End of the World, which is about existential risks like AI, pandemics, and nuclear war, and isn’t really all that brief.
He worked at Time magazine for 15 years as a foreign correspondent in Hong Kong and Tokyo, an environment writer, and as international editor, and was the future correspondent at Axios. When not editing, he writes the weekly Good News newsletter, as well as on subjects like population trends, the best ways to achieve scientific and material progress, climate change, artificial intelligence, and, very occasionally, children’s television. He can be reached via email at bryan.walsh@vox.com and on Twitter at @bryanrwalsh.
