THiS WEEK: Our lineup of picks this week was simply too good to actually publish or disseminate. We're going to keep it in a vault, locked away, so that it will appreciate in value until such time as we find ourselves in need of cash. Which never happens now.

We realize that some of you may be disappointed so we'd like to take this opportunity to impress upon you just how very good the forthcoming print edition of LiP is shaping up to be, and to encourage you to subscribe if you haven't already done so. And remember, just because this is blatantly promotional doesn't mean we're not actually peddling the best thing since sliced bread. Or bicycles.

IN WHICH: Mike Davis explores the future of weather; Boots Riley talks about the first new album by The Coup in 4 years; Lisa Jervis convenes a roundtable on the possible futures of gender; Tim Wise envisions a truly post-colonial world; author Mary Roach talks about the uses and abuses of cadavers; two scurrilous authors bring you comedy porn; John Ross weighs in on state-based vs. grassroots power in Latin America and what it means for indigenous peoples; and Brian Awehali outlines the emerging alternative energy economy and the last, best chance for Native American sovereignty.

PLUS: Why green capitalism can beat oil scarcity; a few obviously crazy roboticists explain why machines should take over; Dick Cheney’s obituary; ads from the future; and the usual assortment of dangerous humor and informed revolt.

PS: The cover image for this issue employs a "panascopic" photo depicting a rice harvest in Ogaki, Japan, and it was taken by a guy named Luc Courchesne. Pretty weird, huh? If you click on the cover image to the left, you may view a significantly larger (and very nearly legible) version of the cover.
