grâce au projet gutenberg et à d'autres initiatives de numérisation de livres, le web devient une vaste librairie électronique (peuplée essentiellement de livres dans le domaine public).
on y trouve les grands classiques et d'autres illustres inconnus ainsi que de petites perles comme ce "HAND SHADOWS TO BE THROWN UPON THE WALL" publié en 1859

The Best Magazine Articles Ever
| Quote: | The following are suggestions for the best magazine articles (in English) ever. Arranged in chronological order. Stars denote how many times a correspondent has suggested it. For a great way to read long-form magazine articles on a tablet device see my review here.
- Vannevar Bush, "As We May Think", Atlantic Magazine, July 1945
- Norman Mailer, "Superman Comes to the Supermarket" in Esquire, November 1960
- Tom Wolfe, "The Last American Hero is Junior Johnson. Yes!" in Esquire March 1965
- Gay Talese, "Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" in Esquire, April 1966
- Hunter Thompson, "The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved" June 1970 in Scanlan's Monthly.
- Tom Wolfe, "Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers" June 8, 1970 New York Magazine.
- Ron Rosenbaum, "Secrets of the Little Blue Box" in October 1971 Esquire. The first and best account of telephone hackers, more amazing than you might believe.
- Stewart Brand, "Space War: Fanatic Life and Symbolic Dearth Among Computer Bums" in Rolling Stone, December 7, 1972. Written nearly 40 years ago, this account of virtual realities has all the classic props: midnight hours, geek humor, nerd hubris, and other worldliness.
- Howard Kohn and David Weir, "Tania's World: The Inside Story" (about Patty Hearst's kidnapping), in Rolling Stone, October 23, 1975.
- Edward Jay Epstein, "Have You Ever Tried to Sell a Diamond?" from The Atlantic, February 1982. Diamonds, De Beers, monopoly & marketing.
- Richard Preston, "The Mountains of Pi" in the New Yorker, March 2, 1992. Two brothers build a supercomputer from mailorder parts in the New York apartment. All it does is compute new digits of Pi.
- Gary Wolf, "The Curse of Xanadu" in Wired, June 1995. The story of Ted's Nelson attempt to heal his personality with his invention of hypertext.
- Susan Orlean, "Orchid Fever" in The New Yorker, January 23, 1995
- Barry Lopez, "On the Wings of Commerce", in Harper's, October 1995. An excellent view inside the hidden world of commercial air freight, which powers a big chunk of the global economy. Think Neal Stevenson's glass necklace (see below), but airborne.
- Neal Stephenson, " Mother Earth, Mother Board: Wiring the Planet," Wired 4.12, December 1996
- Edward W. Said "The Clash of Ignorance", The Nation, October 22, 2001, in response to Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations".
- Tom Junod, "The Falling Man" in September 2003 Esquire.
- Stephen Dubner, "The Silver Thief" The New Yorker, 2004
- Gene Weingarten , "The Peekaboo Paradox" in the Washington Post Sunday Magazine, January 22, 2006. Story about the weirdest clown, the Great Zucchini, you'll never want to meet. Keep reading....
