Résumé:
'' TOO MUCH is a magazine about romantic geography. Its purpose is to document our collective experience of cities and look at the ways people and landscapes make and remake one another. Issue 9 began with a question that arose from events that occurred underneath our own city of Tokyo 27 years ago — the Tokyo subway sarin attacks of March 20, 1995. Revisit- ing this devastating event – largely through Haruki Murakami’s seminal nonfiction, ''Underground'' — pushed us to examine the power of human narratives, particularly those pertaining to the divine. It has also led us to understand how our own experiences have been shaped by a belief in the power of other, more positive narratives of a world in flux. This volume of TOO MUCH Magazine asks: Who is to say what is sacred? ''

Résumé:
In an age of email lists and discussion groups, e-zines and weblogs, bringing together users, consumers, workers and activists from around the globe, what kinds of political subjectivity are emerging? What kinds of politics become possible in a time of information overload and media saturation? What structures of power and control operate over a self-organising system like the internet? In this highly original new work, Tiziana Terranova investigates the political dimension of the network culture in which we now live, and explores what the new forms of communication and organisation might mean for our understanding of power and politics. Terranova engages with key concepts and debates in cultural theory and cultural politics, using examples from media culture, computing, network dynamics, and internet activism within the anti-capitalist and anti-war movements.

Résumé:
"Infrastructure" is a unique guide, exploring all the major "ecosystems" of our modern industrial world, revealing what the structures are and why they're there, and uncovering beauty in unexpected places. It covers an industrial landscape comprised of agriculture, resources, energy, communication, transportation, manufacturing, and waste. The objects that fill our everyday environment are streetlights, railroad tracks, antenna towers, highway overpasses, power lines, satellite dishes, and thousands of other manufactured items, many of them so familiar we hardly notice them. Larger and more exotic facilities have transformed vast tracts of the landscape : coal mines, nuclear power plants, grain elevators, oil refineries, and steel mills, to name a few. "Infrastructure" is a compelling and clear guide for those who want to explore and understand this mysterious world we've made for ourselves.

Résumé:
Perennially popular at the magCulture shop, this ingeniously formatted magazine concerns architecture (and life) in its broadest sense: '‘What it means to live today'’. This Spring 2026 issue of Real Review is dedicated to ‘Pretending the World’, with Nishant Choksi’s signature cover design, depicting a slipping mask, reinforcing the message that power and performance are inextricably bound—both in the exercise of political authority, and the mobilisation of the masses: '‘To pretend means to ‘lay claim’—to stretch forward and take hold of what we want, as if it already existed, or were already ours. To pretend is thus to call forth another reality and create truth through the power of conviction alone. It is fashionable to ridicule performative gestures as ineffective posturing. Yet this is literally the only way new societies come into being.’'

Résumé:
Traditional archivism runs the risk of perpetuating hegemonic ways of thinking by anticipating what will be of importance in the future through the framework of present-day realities and power structures. These genre-busting ruminations gather new methods for designing views of potential worlds and forms of archival activism.
