Interesting Magazines

A few of my favorite magazines, click to see the online content (some of them publish the entire current issue for free online):

Reason. The best political magazine in existence. Mostly libertarian but has contributing writers from different political philosophies. Usually has a very interesting main article. My favorite section of the magazine are the brickbats, showing enemies of liberty around the world and the horrible, stupid, and sometimes funny things that happen to people when the government gets out of control. I'd recommend this magazine to ANYONE interesting in politics or current events.

SciAm. I've always been interested in science. This magazine leaves out many of the heavy technical jargon so that the layperson can understand new discoveries, but it doesn't talk down to you either. Each issue has a large variety of topics. It's also been around for over 100 years so that says something. Recommended to anyone with a casual interest in the sciences.

Liberty. I haven't read this one much, but what I have read impressed me. Not quite as polished as Reason and probably a little bit more hardcore libertarian, but the few issues I've read have been super!

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. An interesting niche publication focusing on global security issues. In the past it has had very important people write in it, but it is most famous for the Doomsday Clock, which proclaims that humanity is only a few minutes to midnight (i.e. nuclear war). Clock gets adjusted depending on what's going on in the world, currently set at 7 minutes to midnight). You may get nervous reading about the crazy stuff going on or may be comforted by new anti-terrorism technologies. Its worth checking out at the least.
