dimFLASH: David Futrelle a r c h i v e

This page is no longer being updated.

Please go here for the current version of dimFLASH.

A freelance writer living in Chicago, I write mostly about psychology, technology, money and culture (sometimes all at once). I was for a time a staff writer at Money magazine, where I wrote mostly about the intersection of money and psychology. Before that I wrote regularly for Upside magazine and Newsday. Over the years, I've written for an assortment of other publications ranging from Salon.com to the Wall Street Journal. (You'll find a more complete list here). Below, selected pieces of mine available online. You might want to start with the asterisked ones.
