Tank. Tomorrow´s world

In 2018 we celebrate our 20th birthday with our spring issue, TANK Future Perfect.

Much more than your average anniversary issue, the cover uses all manner of hi-tech and futuristic interactive features, including the latest sticker technology, which enables readers to customise their own. Each issue comes with two sheets of stickers and (according to our calculations) precisely 1,048,576 possible covers.

Dig a little deeper and you’ll find our interview with the golden boy of cryptocurrency, the founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin. At the tender age of 23, no one illustrates the contradictions and possibilities of our collective future than this young genius. Elsewhere, Nesrine Malik discusses the hype and reality of NEOM, Saudi Arabia’s planned city of the future, and Douglas Murphy finds in today’s fascination with the wall a return to architecture in its oldest form. Nick Seaton makes a pilgrimage to Axel Vervoordt, the great master of antiquarian modernism. The American novelist Tod Wodicka returns to TANK with an essay on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and the award-winning author Nadifa Mohamed writes exclusive new flash fiction. Conversations galore with the likes of with Yuk Hui, the programmer turned philosopher, and Thom Browne, fashion’s acknowledged genius to name just a few. Photographers David Luraschi, Paul Rousteau and Boris Camaca conjure images of wonderment and uneasy joy, the only kind we recommend.
