The June issue of Reason magazine has to go down as a landmark in publishing. My copy arrived in the mail yesterday; on the cover it says: “DAVID POST: They know where you are!” And there’s an accompanying aerial photograph which shows a portion of my neighborhood in Washington DC, with my house circled in red! Pretty amazing — they’ve done this, apparently, for all 40,000 subscribers. In the words of Editor Nick Gillespie, the issue “hints at a future of hyper-individualized publications that will be assembled for an audience of one: you.” What Cass Sunstein a while back called (not approvingly) “The Daily Me.” Some iinteresting articles inside, too, (including one by Declan McCullagh) on why The Daily Me might be a very good thing indeed.
