    Noble Rot – Issue 36

    Noble Rot Issue 36 is available now at LOREM (not Ipsum). From the very first sip, dinner with this issue’s special guest, Ridley Scott, was another trademark Noble Rot interview that ran to more than several glasses and some unearthed little-known insights. Responsible for some of the greatest movies of all time – from Blade Runner and Thelma & Louise to Alien and Gladiator (the latter two of which we pay tribute to with this issue’s special dual covers by Gary Taxoli), Scott is also a wine lover who owns vineyards in Provence, and has a maverick perspective on everything from cooking the perfect scrambled eggs to how AI is changing the world.

At its most basic, communication offers access—to markets, to family, and to emergency services. Executed throughout a network, it changes the way we interact, forging communities and identities. Indeed, communication is critical to discourse. That’s why hackers the world over, even in the freest societies, are cracking open institutions of power to free information. Communication seems instinctive—from the first neural signal to the invention of language to the evolving forms we witness today. Finde more interesting stories in Makeshift Magazine Issue 4.
