I’m Alex Davies.

I’m a journalist and author who loves digging into the systems, inventions, and people that quietly shape how the world works. I have written for and led teams at Wired, The Athletic, and Business Insider, and I’m now shaping award-winning, long-form features at Amazon News.

My new book, Kobuk the Destroyer: And Other Tales from the Wild, Unseen World of Test Engineering is now available for pre-order.

My debut book, Driven: The Race to Create the Autonomous Car, is an award-winning inside account of the self-driving vehicle revolution.
