Life

Grossman was born in Concord, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard University in 1991[3] and pursued a graduate student in English literature at the University of California, Berkeley.[4] He is the twin brother of writer Lev Grossman and brother of sculptor Bathsheba Grossman, and the son of the poet Allen Grossman and the novelist Judith Grossman.

Grossman's father was born Jewish[5] and his mother was raised Anglican.[6]

Grossman started his career in the game industry by replying to a classified ad in The Boston Globe in May 1992 that led him to Looking Glass Studios, where in System Shock he pioneered the audio log technique for storytelling in narrative games. Grossman has worked with DreamWorks Interactive, Ion Storm, and Crystal Dynamics, and served as Director of Game Design and Interactive Story at Magic Leap until April 2020. He currently teaches writing and narrative design at New York University Tisch School of the Arts.[7]

Novels

Grossman is the author of the novel Soon I Will Be Invincible, which was published by Pantheon Books in 2007.[4] His second book, entitled YOU, debuted in April 2013.[8] His third novel, Crooked, came out in July 2015.[9] In 2021, he co-wrote an original audiobook for Audible called New Found Land: The Long Haul with Neal Stephenson and Sean Stewart, which the trio had developed as a story for AR company Magic Leap.[10] In June 2024, Grossman published his fourth novel, Fight Me.[11]
