In this 68th edition, we champion the return to tactile substance and the luxury of deceleration. We explore bespoke intelligence through Gist Books’ personalized primers, find sensory recalibration in the wood-fired waters of the HotTug, and embrace the ‘quiet movement’ via the notification-free sanctuary of the Silent Book Club. While The Quilters offers a poignant lesson in compassion from behind bars and iLost reunites lost treasures with their owners, we round out the experience with the analog velvet groove of Dabeull: a track best enjoyed with a chilled Negroni. This is your curated toolkit for a life lived with more presence and less noise.
