This is the strongest n+1 that I've read since I've started subscribing. The opening article about the Internet as a Social Movement is a good look at the history of the web and its current/future goal of hypersensitizing and personalizing ads for the benefit of companies and users.
The Narcoterror in Mexico essays are simply great, though the translation is a bit clunky. I think I learned more about what life amid the violence in Mexico is like in there two short essays than in Bolano's 2666.
Mark Greif's essay about Octomom as a metaphor for modern society walks the fine line between societal criticism and gradschool essay (pick two topics, try to build a connection). It is nicely structured and makes some clever points, insights
