David Wolinsky is an author and entertainment journalist. His early career as an editor can be summed up by a single afternoon while working at The Onion, playing phone tag with Gallagher after interviewing Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy about his hair. That was a long time ago. More recently, David has served as an editor for NBC and an editorial consultant for Adult Swim. Over the years he has written for publications including The New Yorker, Wired, Rolling Stone, and Slate. His first book, ALL THE RAGE --- about the internet, blame, videogames, and online abuse --- is due out in 2020 via Read-Only Memory. It’s a spin-off of Don’t Die, an award-winning and popular interview series on videogames and what people think of them, which has been featured in USA Today and VentureBeat.
