But I should admit that these fiction initiatives are experimental,
provisional, part of our larger adventure through the seismically
shifting landscape of letters. If our hardworking developers have
pulled it off, by the time you read this note our Web site,
TheAtlantic.com, will have relaunched with a new design and a
superior system for finding the subjects you’re interested in and
discovering new ideas you didn’t know you were looking for.
We’ve also released two apps for the iPhone so far and are about to
release a third, much improved, one.

We are experimenting busily, in other words, with any new


technology that emerges in this extraordinarily fertile era. If it looks
like we’re making things up as we go along, the reason is that we
are. To each “platform,” as they are now called in the trade, we are
tailoring the Atlantic work that can fit it best—trying to help you
make sense of the world, to keep you informed and entertained,
through whatever medium you find most congenial. For our print
magazine and our e-reader editions, we are continuing to devote
months of reporting and writing to create pieces like Joshua Green’s
profile in this issue of Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, and
Robert D. Kaplan’s assessment of the war in Afghanistan. For the
Web site each day, we produce dozens of posts analyzing breaking
developments in politics, business, culture, technology, and other
subjects, some of them longtime preoccupations of The Atlantic,
others fairly new to all of us. As I write, on our site I can see posts
popping up by James Fallows about Twitter, by Andrew Sullivan
about the future of gays in the military, and by Ta-Nehisi Coates
about the moral courage of Civil War General George Henry
Thomas.

What matters to us—in all the work that we do, on whatever


platform may present itself—is the quality and consequence of an
idea, and the clarity and power of its expression. We believe, and
we believe that you believe, that of the many and proliferating
means for communicating big ideas, one of the most effective, and
therefore most enduring, is fiction.
