The Dial‘s 28th issue, Spectacle, is out now. Read at thedial.world
“Digital devices — and the dopamine hit we get from them — have altered our desire for entertainment. Politicians are rewarded for their public performances more than their policy, the media chases scoops and buzzy headlines and the rest of the internet foregrounds outrageous takes and coarse speech. The pieces in this month’s issue, Spectacle, examine the absurd and harmful things people do for attention, money and power.”
