100 years of New Yorker.
For its 100th anniversary, The New Yorker put its entire magazine archive online. (For paid subscribers, anyway.) You can browse by issue, but the NYer is also using AI to make it easier to search for subjects and topics, and to summarize each article so you know what you’re getting into before you accidentally sign up for a million words about elevators. But honestly, read the elevator story. It rules.
The Entire New Yorker Archive Is Now Fully Digitized
