Scott Carney (born July 9, 1978) is an American investigative journalist, author and anthropologist. He is the author of five books: The Red Market, The Enlightenment Trap, What Doesn't Kill Us, The Wedge, and The Vortex. Carney contributes stories on a variety of medical, technological and ethical issues to Wired, Mother Jones, Playboy, Foreign Policy, Men's Journal, and National Public Radio.[1][2][3][4][5]
Carney was the first American journalist to write about "Iceman" Wim Hof in a 2014 article in Playboy.[6] The book that came out of that research, What Doesn't Kill Us, spent two months on the New York Times bestseller list in 2017.[7] His 2020 book, The Wedge, explores the core concepts of the Wim Hof Method and applies them to a wide array of physical training.[8]
He reported from Chennai, India between 2006–2009. In 2015 he founded the tiny Denver-based media company Foxtopus Ink, which produces audio books, video courses and podcasts. In 2018 Foxtopus Ink released the first season of the podcast Wild Thing on the search for bigfoot.[9]
Carney holds a number of academic and professional appointments including as a contributing editor at Wired, a senior fellow at the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism at Brandeis University, and as a judge for the Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism.[10] He graduated from Kenyon College in 2000 and dropped out of a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in order to pursue journalism.
