Some additional thoughts by moi: Samesies as above. On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 5PM Pacific. What they say: News at the intersection of Silicon Valley and democracy. Some additional thoughts by moi: Nothing to add, really. What they say: Get smarter about the most important stories in tech, media and finance by following Silicon Valley’s most-read executive newsletter. The Briefing - by Martin Peers and Jessica Lessin (from The Information) You get a longer intro with some general musings and then bite-sized suggestions for Apps & Sites, Books & Accessories, articles etc. Some additional thoughts by moi: It’s pretty eclectic, but in a good (nay, great) way. Thought-provoking things to read, listen, watch.
Best tech newsletters to subscribe to free#
Join over 39,000 readers for a free weekly email with fresh discoveries at the intersection of design, technology, sustainability and culture. What they say: A thoughtful weekly newsletter to help you feel inspired, be productive & think critically. Need I say more? Who does not want to know what Peter Hinssen knows? Am I right? I am, aren’t I? Bremmer is one of Peter Hinssen’s favorite authors and thinkers. Some additional thoughts by moi: GZERO Media was founded by American political scientist and author Ian Bremmer who has an interesting focus on global political risk. What they say: Save time, be entertained, and make sense of global politics every weekday. I wish I could tell you when his next one will be but his launches tend to fluctuate: former issues date from November, December, January, February and even May so it might be a while still.

Once a week, I send an email newsletter to 175,000 people – I pick out the changes and ideas you don’t want to miss in all the noise, and give them context and analysis. Benedict's Newsletter – By Benedict Evans Making the world a better place suffices to me. So my early New Year gift to you is a list of my top favorite newsletters, so you can subscribe to them and become You2.0 (or You3.0 but then you’d hoard your data and not share it in conversations and that seems pretty selfish, to be honest), a more perspicacious, wise and enlightened of the 2022 You, whom you’ll lovingly look back to as a distant, friendly, but slightly foolish relative. And what better way to achieve the latter tour de force than by becoming more savvy about tech & biz trends? Imagine how that would allow you to liven up dinner parties!

‘Tis (almost) the season of good intentions, lists, gifts and elaborate plans to become better versions of ourselves.
