Clay Shirky on Wikipedia's 10th Anniversary. theAtlantic.com, 2011. On how Wikipedia has forced us to re-examine our conceptions of authority.
Israeli Test on Worm Called Crucial in Iran Nuclear Delay. New York Times, 2011. Think cyber-warfare the domain of science fiction? Think again.
And because I can't resist including an urban-related reading:
Burning Man and the Metropolis. Nate Berg, Design Observer, 2011. A creative and fascinating essay that reflects on the annual Burning Man festival as a city; though as it notes:
Black Rock City — let's be honest — is not actually a city. ... But really, that's not the point. People who go to Burning Man aren't trying to recreate an urban experience or play City Hall. They are experimenting with new ways of living, as generations have done before them.
