N+1 #9 BAD MONEY.<\/p>\n

THE INTELLECTUAL SITUATION:<\/p>\n

THE EDITORS – The Intellectual Situation
\nWeb 2.0 has been revelatory in lots of ways\u2014user-generated naked photos, for one\u2014but the torrent of writing from ordinary folks has certainly been one of the most transfixing.<\/p>\n

THE EDITORS – Internet as Social Movement
\n\u201cThe Russian Revolution,\u201d Wired founding editor Louis Rossetto once said, \u201cwas like a schoolyard game compared to the change that\u2019s been driven by the digital revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

THE EDITORS – Addled
\nToday we Google ourselves to see what the world knows about us; tomorrow we\u2019ll just watch the ads. The outlines of this can already be discerned in Gmail\u2019s data mining of your emails.<\/p>\n

THE EDITORS – Cave Painting
\nFor the best writers on video games, games are not art and don\u2019t need to be. Games are, by design, what Plato believed epic poetry to be: ethics manuals for inhabitants of the cave.<\/p>\n

POLITICS:<\/p>\n

BENJAMIN KUNKEL – Full Employment
\nOf all classic capitalist problems\u2014income inequality, imperialism, the class character of the state\u2014mass unemployment has probably been the one to trouble living Americans least.<\/p>\n

NARCOTERROR IN MEXICO:<\/p>\n

ANONYMOUS – Under the Cartels
\nIn the late \u201990s, when I moved to the city of Monterrey, people made jokes about my origins: surely my father carried a gun, surely I was coarse and crude\u2014I was from a border town.<\/p>\n

JUAN VILLORO – The Red Carpet
\nIt\u2019s possible to distinguish the \u2018signatures\u2019 of the different cartels: some decapitate their victims, others cut out their tongues, others leave the dead in the trunks of cars.<\/p>\n

ESSAYS:<\/p>\n

EMILY WITT – Miami Party Boom
\nWe were led to an elevator past tanks filled with pulsing jellyfish. The elevator went down to the basement area, and when the door slid open an impossibly tall drag queen greeted us.<\/p>\n

ELIF BATUMAN – Summer in Samarkand, Part II
\nIf there is one thing I heard a thousand times in Samarkand, it was how they have the greatest bread in Uzbekistan because of their amazingly clean water and air.<\/p>\n

MARK GREIF – Octomom, One Year Later
\nThe octuplets were supposed to be a distraction; instead, the camera teams camped on Nadya Suleman\u2019s lawn got a living metaphor for the crisis.<\/p>\n

FICTION:<\/p>\n

SAM LIPSYTE – The Blue Newt Faction
\nThe hand-scrawled sign over the door to the Happy Salamander preschool read: Closed indefinitely due to pedagogical conflicts. Please call 917 887 8884 for further information.<\/p>\n

THOMAS LEVERITT – The Exchange Rate Between Lust and Money
\nOh, the girls have panic buttons all right, and if one of them gets pushed it won\u2019t be cops who\u2019ll come running. That falls under \u201csecurity,\u201d provided by the landlord.<\/p>\n

REVIEWS:<\/p>\n

MARK MCGURL – Zombie Renaissance
\nCritics have been worrying about the death of the novel for decades. The publication of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is unlikely to change that.<\/p>\n

CARLENE BAUER – Why Don\u2019t You?
\nBecause she wants to argue that having sex doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re a bad person, Valenti insists on divorcing sex from emotional and ethical consequences altogether.<\/p>\n

MOLLY YOUNG – Fake Food Triptych
\nOne suspects a preexisting need to make food more interesting than it is, more beautiful, more strange\u2014an impulse more fundamental than a flavor-tripping party.<\/p>\n
