Paul, Pamela

Pamela Paul is the editor of The New York Times Book Review and also oversees book coverage at the Times, where she hosts the weekly Book Review podcast. She is also an author whose books include My Life with Bob; How to Raise a Reader; By the Book; Parenting, Inc.; Pornified; The Starter Marriage and the Future of Matrimony; and Rectangle Time, a book for children. Before joining The New York Times, she was a contributor to Time and The Economist, and her work appeared in The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and Vogue. In her most recent book, 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet (Crown Publishing Group), Paul’s musings turn to modern life and its absolute entrenchment in the digital space. Today we exist, for the most part, in the filtered and isolated corners of the internet – a place that has all at once become our local library, office, bar, movie theater, and concert hall. While the internet has put an entire world at our fingertips, it has also taken away many of the fundamental human experiences that sustain us.
