Matt Richtel

Back in 2014, Matt Richtel wrote a mesmerizing, compulsive, and very well-researched nonfiction book about a young man who drifted out of his lane on a Utah highway while texting and killed two rocket scientists coming the opposite way.

Amazon Senior Editor Jon Foro described
"A Deadly Wandering"  this way.......

"Richtel has combined his savvy as a New York Times science reporter with his skill as a writer of technology-infused thrillers to weave two separate, if related, stories together: the tragedy—and ultimate redemption—of Reggie Shaw, and the deleterious effects of technology on our brains, bodies, and culture. A Deadly Wandering is a riveting blend of humanity and science, and a masterful work of narrative nonfiction."
