Joanne McNeil is an American writer,[1][2] editor, and art critic known for her personal essays on technology. She has written a non-fiction book on internet culture and a fiction novel.[3][4]

McNeil founded and edited the now-defunct blog, The Tomorrow Museum, before becoming the editor of Rhizome at the New Museum, in 2011.[5] She held the position through 2012, when she edited The Best of Rhizome 2012, published through LINK Editions/LINK Center for the Arts.[6][7] She has contributed to Frieze, Los Angeles Times, Wired, and the Boston Globe. She currently maintains a column called Speculations for Filmmaker Magazine.[8]

McNeil was part of two panels on the New Aesthetic: one called "The New Aesthetic" at SXSW 2012 and a follow-up called "Stories from the New Aesthetic" at the New Museum.[9][citation needed] McNeil was an Eyebeam resident.[10][11] In 2015, McNeil was the inaugural recipient of the Thoma Foundation Digital Arts Writing Award for an emerging arts writer who has made significant contributions to the intersection of art and technology.[12]

In 2020, McNeil published the non-fiction book Lurking: How a Person Became a User. The book provides a critical history of the Internet from the perspective of its users.[13] In 2023, she published her first fiction novel, Wrong Way, which centers around a gig worker employed by a company deploying a fleet of autonomous vehicles.[14]
