2.2 Chromewash

This issue of 'Arc' examines the prediction business. Ned Beauman plays the markets, Jane Rogers puts a market price on identity, Tim Maughan games the art market, and Matthew De Abaitua wonders what happens when creatives get destructive.

Also in this issue, Joanna Kavenna learns to mistrust Al Gore's first-person plural, and M. John Harrison examines the special weapons and tactics of English Heritage. Medical ethicist Peter Hajek's modest proposal tackles an ageing planet, Adam Rothstein spins a ghost story out of vapourware, Marek Kohn decides that the past has a future, too, and Brendan Byrne recalls the moment modern statecraft went cyberpunk.
