We publish essays, interviews, reportage, videos and art on the overlapping realms of technology, philosophy, governance, economics, geopolitics and culture. In doing so, our unique approach is to get out of the usual lanes and cross disciplines, social silos and cultural boundaries. From artificial intelligence and the climate crisis to the future of democracy and capitalism, Noema Magazine seeks a deeper understanding of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century.<br><br><\/p><p>In ancient Greek, <em>no\u0113ma <\/em>means \u201cthinking\u201d or the \u201cobject of thought.\u201d And that is our intention: to delve deeply into the critical issues transforming the world today, at length and with historical context, in order to illuminate new pathways of thought in a way not possible through the immediacy of daily media.<br><br><\/p><p>Published online and in print by the Berggruen Institute, Noema grew out of a previous publication called The WorldPost, which was first a partnership with HuffPost and later with The Washington Post. Noema publishes thoughtful, rigorous, adventurous pieces by voices from both inside and outside the institute. While committed to using journalism to help build a more sustainable and equitable world, we do not promote any particular set of national, economic or partisan interests.<\/p><div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><style>\nhtml>body:not(.wp-admin) li {margin-bottom:10px;}\nhtml>body:not(.wp-admin) p a {text-decoration: underline;}\nhtml>body:not(.wp-admin) p a:hover {text-decoration: underline;}\n<\/style><p><strong>AWARDS:<\/strong><\/p><div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harpercollins.com\/products\/the-best-american-science-and-nature-writing-2025-susan-orleanjaime-green?variant=43710161518626&amp;utm_source=aps&amp;utm_medium=plp&amp;utm_campaign=aps\">2025 Edition Of &#8220;The Best American Science and Nature Writing<\/a><\/strong>&#8220;<\/p><div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Selection<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.noemamag.com\/we-need-to-rewild-the-internet\/\">&#8220;We Need To Rewild The Internet<\/a>&#8221; by Maria Farrell and Robin Berjon<\/li><\/ul><div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harpercollins.com\/products\/the-best-american-food-and-travel-writing-2025-bryant-terryjaya-saxena?variant=43711700238370\">2025 Edition Of &#8220;The Best American Food and Travel Writing<\/a><\/strong>&#8220;<\/p><div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Selection<\/strong>: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.noemamag.com\/nice-view-shame-about-all-the-tourists\/\">Nice View.
