Last year we debuted Crunch Network, a collaboration between our community of thinkers, readers and makers that produced insights into how technology is shaping (and reshaping) society. Frankly, the results were amazing.
Senators, senior strategists and chief executives came through with amazing insights into where we stand now and where we’re going — as innovation continues to transform fiction into fact and yesterday’s dreams of how to make the world better into tomorrow’s businesses that actually make the world better.
It’s been a pleasure to read all of your wise words and share them with the wider world. And we’d like to keep going. So we’re here to present you with the editorial calendar for 2016.
Again, we’re looking for pieces that explore the intersection of technology and aspects of society. Everything from the latest laboratory research, to surveys of the startup landscape and its relationship with diversity, to the newest innovation in the arts and latest thinking from philosophers on the ramifications of it all — we want to read about all of it — and, apparently, so do you.
By no means are these subjects exhaustive. We find it exhilarating to read your best thoughts about anything. So in addition to getting articles on the themes below, we’ll take your words on anything and everything you think worth writing about.
Head over to our brand-new Crunch Network page to submit your post today.
