Our final issue of 2024 contains sparkling essays and incredible art. We ask: Why is suburban sprawl everywhere and can it be stopped? Should FDR be the model for the future? What can Afrofuturism do to expand our minds? Plus other questions! There's more: we invent new vegetables, teach you a new get-rich-quick scheme, reveal hidden Kamala Harris strategy documents, explore Republican Sex Ed, and interview democratic socialist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani!
