David Sax's biography

At a glance

  • Bestselling author on analog vs digital life
  • Journalist for The New York Times and The New Yorker
  • Speaker on human centered workplace strategies
David Sax is a bestselling author and journalist who challenges the assumption that more technology automatically leads to better lives, work, and business outcomes. His book The Future is Analog builds on the success of The Revenge of Analog, which became a global bestseller. David's writing has appeared in The New York Times, Bloomberg Businessweek, and The New Yorker, and his ideas have shaped how organizations rethink their relationship with digital tools. David's research offers a practical framework for leaders navigating the tension between digital efficiency and human connection. Rather than rejecting technology, he helps organizations identify where analog experiences, such as in-person collaboration, physical products, and face-to-face customer interactions, create value that digital alternatives cannot replicate. His work is grounded in reporting from businesses and communities that have found this balance. Audiences leave David's sessions with a clearer understanding of when digital tools help and when they hinder, strategies for building workplace cultures that prioritize creativity and resilience over constant connectivity, and a roadmap for designing customer experiences that feel genuinely human. These takeaways are drawn directly from the case studies and reporting in his books. Book David Sax to help your organization stop defaulting to digital and start designing around what actually works for people.

Why we recommend booking David

David Sax brings reporting from The Future is Analog and The New York Times to help leadership teams identify where in-person collaboration and physical touchpoints outperform digital defaults. His framework is particularly valuable for organizations wrestling with hybrid work design, customer experience strategy, or innovation cultures that feel stuck in screen-based thinking.
