Why Subscribe?

Subscribe for monthly posts with future-thinking observations and predictions about technology, business, culture, and society. If you like a critical take on today’s tech-centric economy and culture, you’re in the right place. I try to focus on angles and questions no one else is talking about.

• Free subscribers: Get access to the newsletter. Every new edition goes directly to your inbox. Never miss an update.

• Paid subscribers ($5/month or $50/year): Get full access to the newsletter and unlock archived deep-dives (like this & this). Most of my posts will be free initially, so for now, you’d just be supporting my work on this project. Paid members will eventually get more bonus content. I’ll let you know when that expansion happens. Your support helps me keep this thing going in the meantime.✨

• You can also support my work through a one-off donation on PayPal.

About Shannon Cuthrell:

I’m a freelance journalist covering tech and business. My bylines can be found in a range of print and online publications, from local media in my home state of North Carolina to trade publications targeting niche markets. Read more about my professional background here.

I also write poetry, including a book published in 2015. It’s available in paperback on Amazon.

NOTE: The essays in this newsletter reflect my personal views and observations. This project is separate from my main job as a journalist/reporter. Much like a traditional newspaper column, my newsletter is a side channel to voice my opinions.
