The Linkfest buttondown.com

The opposite of doomscrolling: Every two weeks (roughly) I send you a collection of the best Internet reading I've found -- links to culture, technology, art and science that fascinated me. Full, free archives here . I'm Clive Thompson, a longtime science and tech reporter ( Wired , New York Times Magazine ), book author ( Coders ) and blogger . I'm at clive@clivethompson.net and on Mastodon. The Linkfest is pay-what-you want. Put your email below and boom you're subscribed, for free! It'll tell you to "upgrade your subscription" -- but you don't need to, unless you want to put in a monthly amount below to support this project, and obtain my undying regard. It's Guardian -style economics here; folks who support it help keep it free for rest of the entire planet.
