Will Storr

British journalist and author — author of The Status Game, Selfie, and The Science of Storytelling — who writes accessible pop-psychology on narrative, identity, and social status.

Creates The Status Game as the most systematic popular account of status psychology — Storr's argument (that the drive for status is the fundamental human motivation, operating through virtue games, dominance games, and success games) provides a unifying framework for understanding tribalism, cancel culture, extremism, and everyday social behavior.
