Dear New Maps readers, The Fall 2022 issue is now available to order! Most subscribers should have just received their copies; if not, look for it in the next few days. If you're not subscribed, get your paper copy at the order page, or an electronic (PDF) copy at the Payhip store].

New Maps readers, “Deindustrial” and “high-tech” may appear to be mutually exclusive terms. Even I thought so. But as I began making the selections for this issue, I discovered that not just one but _several_ stories had arrived that meant I needed to revisit that assumption. After all: the future may rhyme with the past in some pretty notable ways, but it won't look just the same. With the technology that exists here and now in the real world, people will go interesting directions in the deindustrial future, some of which might even look awfully futuristic. Not to mention that the people currently inventing tech that's higher than anyone needs haven't started running out of buyers yet, and who knows what strange devices will arise before the fossil fuel bubble's pop finally reaches the workshops of the rich, insulated as they are against the real world?

*New Maps* readers, No snowshoeing to get this one to the post office, at least: the snow has receded, if only about a week ago. U.S. subscribers will be getting their copies of the spring New Maps within the next few days, and international subscribers a little bit later. If you aren't subscribed, you can **order your copy of the issue at our [Order page](/order/).**

New Maps readers,

A quick announcement for you. As I alluded to in the beginning of the spring issue, a new project is coming from Looseleaf Publishing. This spring I’ll be working with John Michael Greer and eleven great authors to publish the winners of Greer’s Gristle writing contest.

New Maps readers,

In the midst of the biggest blizzard of the season up here in northern Wisconsin, today I was happy to snowshoe out over a couple feet of snow to get the Winter 2022 issue of New Maps off to the post office. If you've renewed or subscribed for 2022, your copy should arrive within about a week (in the U.S.; some overseas copies have arrived already).

New Maps readers,

With the release of the Fall 2021 issue last month, the first year of New Maps is complete. If you subscribed starting with the first issue, like many readers, that means it’s time to renew to keep getting New Maps through 2022!

New Maps readers,

It’s finally that time — the Fall 2021 issue is in press and should be reaching U.S. mailboxes right around the middle of the month (international subscribers will see their copies a little before or after that, depending on the country). If you’re not subscribed, now’s the time to order a copy — it will show up about the same time subscribers’ copies do.
