The “Syllabus” – new essays & podcasts

An eclectic weekly selection of the best new essays, talks, podcasts, and more.

Evgeny Morozov’s The Syllabus salvages “the best, the deepest, and the most important bits from the ever-growing great pile of information”. Organized by interest it collects truly stimulating but mostly overlooked online content on a broad range of topics.

  • Our ultimate ambition is to create a “living syllabus” on a series of subjects that matter.
  • We want to ensure that individuals and institutions who want the best new insights into complex yet important issues have the ability to find and peruse more than just tweets or blog posts.
  • Until now, doing this – without getting lost in the labyrinths of academia, think-tanks, and conference halls – has been an arduous task. The Syllabus will change that for good.
