How Sex Changed the Internet and the Internet Changed Sex
Reason magazine
|February 2023
As someone who covers the intersection of sex and technology, I was primed to love Samantha Cole's How Sex Changed the Internet and the Internet Changed Sex. A great book could be written on this topic-but this is not it.
The book contains tidbits of interesting internet history: the "trans activist techno nun" who ran a bulletin board system (BBS) devoted to AIDS info, the stripping "Tech Sign Girls," the early use of nongendered pronouns (e, em, and eir) in a Usenet group. It nods to some ways sexually oriented entrepreneurs drove adoption of new technologies, and it touches on points-like how virtual worlds allow experimentation with different sexual personae that showcase how sexual freedom can flourish online.

A Nostalgic Read for Foreign Policy Elites
IF YOU WERE looking for a human avatar of America's unipolar moment, you couldn't do better than Michael McFaul. Picture a youthful, energetic McFaul with a newly minted Ph.D. bounding into the suddenly post-Soviet space of the early 1990s, full of bright ideas about democracy and faith in the end of history. As McFaul himself puts it, 1991 \"was a glorious moment to be a democratic, liberal, capitalist, multilateralist, and American....I was treated like a rockstar.\"

MAHA Mandates Food Labels
BURDENSOME FOOD LABELING mandates were once the province of Democrats, who pushed for calorie count requirements on restaurant menus and insisted packaged food must feature warnings about genet- ically modified ingredients and trans fats. Now it's Republicans leading the charge- with equally foolish results.

A Taste of Capitalism in Warsaw
WARSAW, POLAND, IS a living museum of economic systems. It's a city where concrete reliefs of stoic factory workers decorate a building that now houses a Kentucky Fried Chicken, where a Soviet-era apartment block stands beside a glass tower filled with coworking spaces.

Robert Crumb's Roving Art and Life
IN THE SPRING of 1962, an 18-year-old Robert Crumb was beaned in the forehead by a solid glass ashtray. His mother, Bea, had hurled it at his father, Chuck, who ducked. Robert was bloodied and dazed, once again a silent and enraged witness to his family's chaos.”
