Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China is a non-fiction book by Evan Osnos, a staff writer at The New Yorker.

[3] Based partly on Osnos' reports in The New Yorker, the book describes his travels in China, where he interviewed people swept up by economic, political, and social change.

The title refers to an emerging sense of individual aspiration, "a belief in the sheer possibility to remake a life," Osnos writes.

In The New York Times Book Review, Jonathan Mirsky described it as "eloquent and comprehensive."

In the San Francisco Chronicle, Minxin Pei called it "by far the most thoughtful and well-crafted work on China written by an American journalist in recent years.”[4] The Economist, in an unsigned review, questioned the emphasis on Ai Weiwei and dissident lawyer Chen Guangcheng "whose well-documented lives and causes take up a little too much of the narrative.
