I stumbled upon this absolutely brilliant publication that explores the relationship between humans and technology. Oddly, it is owned by Snapchat. The social network is funding the new title, which will appeal to those looking for long-reads. But RealLife will have editorial independence, rather than having to get the greenlight from Snapchat executives.
Speaking to VentureBeat, editor Nathan Jurgenson said RealLife’s content strategy ‘will be about how we live today and how our lives are mediated by devices.’ The publication will cover power, privacy, and relationships, among other things, and ‘we aim to address the political uses of technology, including some of the worst practices both inside and outside the tech industry itself.’
Some wonderfully thought-provoking reads in there. Recommended.
