The Best Writing from The Atlantic's Technology Channel is an anthology that showcases the site's kaleidoscopic approach to covering the tech scene. This isn't just a book about technologies, but the ideas that animate them, the people who execute them, and the users who transform them. You'll find everything from an exclusive account of the technology that powered the Obama campaign to an investigation into what makes a stock photo, memes to space, drones to abortion, philosophy to animated GIFs.

Edited by Atlantic senior editor Alexis Madrigal, with staff writer Megan Garber and senior associate editor Rebecca J. Rosen, the collection also features Ross Anderson, Ian Bogost, Yoni Appelbaum, Sarah Rich, Suzanne Fischer, Howard Rheingold, Robinson Meyer, and Alexandra Samuel.

Insight into where technology is taking (or has already taken) us

May 4, 2013

Verified Purchase

A well researched, diverse, and very well written collection of insights into some of technology's hidden corners: for example, how Obama's technology team kicked butt in the last election, the effects of technology in bringing back Pittsburgh, and how the news industry came to embrace the algorithm. Well worth your time.

Excellent and varied writing

The Atlantic's tech writing has been terrific in recent years. Particular props to pieces by Alexis Madrigal and Becca Rosen, but generally speaking, a very strong compilation.

The Atlantic offers its insights

The Atlantic always does a great job in these compendiums, and this is no exception. It contains interesting & relevant articles for the 2011-2012 technologist. I found it a handy reminder of just what's happened in the past year.

Nice job.

Some interesting time fillers ...

... but don't expect much new and eye opening from this little anthology. Does anyone go to the Atlantic to get filled in on technology? Perhaps.

Reread and discovery in one

February 24, 2013

An excellent experiment - collecting the best pieces from a year of blogging into an ebook. Some pieces I had read before, and retread with pleasure and a new frame of reference as time has moved on a bit. Others were new but rewarding reads, whilst a few got skipped over.

This would make for a good tradition, bringing a longer view to the daily grind of the online news cycle.

To get five stars I'd have liked two things;
The date of original publication up front on the story
A short commentary paragraph at the end either from the author or one of the editors looking back and adding a link or two to later development where relevant. (Which would also make it "sellable" and unique)
