I've never heard of the magazine n+1, but if this is typical of it, I'm deeply impressed. Particularly, some of the author's conclusions are brilliant.
His only failure is when he tries to prognosticate. Ontologies are reductive only when they're not contextual, for example.
- kpennell 13y agoI had a subscription for a couple years and liked it quite a bit. Much of the writing is impeccably crafted. As though the author rewrote the piece 8 times to say exactly what they wanted to say.
- platz 13y agon+1 is great. Sometimes it's a nice antidote to tech since they are also very interested in literature and culture. Their print version isn't half bad, either.

Articles mainly about science/technology are maybe one per issue on average, though usually pretty good ones (with some misses). Another new-ish magazine that I mentally place in vaguely the same genre is The New Inquiry: http://thenewinquiry.com http://thenewinquiry.com
- dclara 13y agoMainly not about tech? It's such a perfect summaries of what's happening in the tech history for information processing. Like to see more of this kind.

- dclara 13y agoIt's unbelievable. Even in the tech world, I haven't seen such good quality of reports so far. Why is it not that popular? Maybe because it's a paid service. Thank you so much. Please introduce more to us later.
