Excellent read 9 Mar 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
I bought the Kindle edition after having read an article about the magazine in a local newspaper (der Standard). My interest was peaked when I read that two of my absolute favourite authors (China Mieville und Margaret Atwood) have contributed to the magazine and the fact that it is published by the same guys who produce "New Scientist". I am not yet finished with my copy, but so far I am really satisfied with the mix of hard science and science fiction and the mix of articles and short stories. For me at least this magazine is a wonderful new contribution to the world of magazines and I am looking forward to the next issue. I am certainly hooked.

How excellent to have a new magazine focused on the future. Loved the combination of fiction and non-fiction, all very cutting edge. Some brilliant contributions from some of my fave writers - I especially relished getting a sneaky peep at Margaret Atwood's not yet published novel. Also M John Harrison's story (I do like his stuff). This is the kind of thing that digital is really FOR.

Where's the Beef? 25 May 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Not read this thing yet. The print copy is in excess of £20 (if you can wait for delivery from the US). To read the 'soft' copy will cost me £4.99, plus about £100 for something to read it on. I think Reed Business Publishing should give this project back to the people at New Scientist, who probably actually know something about publishing.
'The Future always Wins', eh? Well it's certainly beaten me.
(PS Why three stars if I haven't read it? Can't submit this without clicking something.)
