We are soliciting pitches for an upcoming issue of Logic.
Logic is a magazine about technology and society that publishes three times per year, in print and digital formats. We’re trying to ask the right questions about how technology works, and whom it works for.
We’re seeking reported articles, features, essays, and profiles that match our theme, Distribution. We pay $200 for shorter essays of 1000-1200 words, and $500 for longer features of 2000-3000 words and up.
CALL FOR PITCHES: DISTRIBUTION
Issue 13, Distribution: Spring 2021
The internet was invented for the purpose of redistribution: to move computing power from one place to another. Today, the cloud both has and has not fulfilled this dream. On the one hand, users anywhere can borrow cycles from servers deep in the forests of Oregon or high on the mountains of Guizhou. On the other, those servers belong to just a handful of companies. Data analytics and machine learning have made it possible to optimize supply chains linking every part of the world. But they have not spread production or profits evenly. As blockchain evangelists aim to distribute trust, and distributed-cognition theorists describe a world of matter vibrating with consciousness, this issue will explore the distributive aspects of digital technologies. New futures are always arriving; they are never evenly distributed.
Please send pitches to pitches@logicmag.io by January 15, 2021, with the subject line “Pitch: Distribution Issue.”
If you send us a pitch and don’t hear from us by mid-February, you can assume we have passed on your proposal. We appreciate every submission—and the time put into them!—but as a small team are not always able to respond to every one.
