Want the new spring issue of VICE? You must subscribe now
Here’s a fair warning: If you’re thinking of subscribing to VICE magazine, do so by Friday, April 10th to make sure the first issue the mailman brings you is THE NOT THE PHOTO ISSUE, our mammoth, nearly 200-page bumper issue for spring (it’ll break your mailman’s back).
A year after its relaunch in print, we feel this issue does the best job yet of telling you who we are in today’s insane, terrifying and relentlessly exciting world.
Whether we’re examining the way official channels of government communication have been taken over by “based” meme culture, interviewing the “real life replicant hunters” who stop AI bots from poisoning reservoirs and ripping off your dad when he’s feeling frisky, or setting up a Lime bike race between a gooner and a chad, it’s quite frankly no fireworks.
It’s fun, it’s provocative, it’s ahead of the curve, and it’s very, very modest. Click below to get it as the first of four issues included with a VICE magazine subscription.
YOU CAN ALSO BUY THE INDIVIDUAL ISSUE…
If you subscribe to VICE, you’ll get the next four issues of VICE delivered right to your door, as well as exclusive access to every paywall story published on VICE.com. (It also removes all the annoying ads on this website.)
If you want, you can also just pre-order the individual number. It has Adam Curtis and Dean Kissick going face to face over 5,000 words, Clive Martin spending a weird weekend with brawlers, bigots and citizen journalists in Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens – the physical front line of global culture war street violence – and a report on South African car raves where people take township ecstasy in taxis and summon ghosts with bass.
Johnny Ryan is back. We sent an AI version of Nick Land to interview AI Homer Simpson at one of his “concerts”. Jamie Lee Taete sent us ten postcards from the US as it embarks on its “humiliation of the century”. Arvida Byström and Emma Stern designed the optimized woman, Andrew Miksys photographed Lithuania’s young Roma, Bertie Brandes wrote about “the cult of perfectly beautiful,” and Ivar Wigan has an incredible 20-page picture story with it Benjamin Ackermanna transracial performance artist from San Diego.
Who else can promise you all this and much, much more? Nobody, that’s who.
