Let's take a look at what's inside...
This penultimate issue for 2011 is about one thing, one very big thing: the information. It's our Data special, where we delve into the world of ones and zeroes.
Data is, quite simply, the most important thing in the world - maybe even the universe. Without it, we're helpless.
And with a global population of 7 billion, we need ever more sophisticated ways to manage that data. So in this issue we reveal:
How data can feed the world
How it can prevent crime
How it will show us our ultimate future - predict our fate
How it will allow us to reprogram life itself.
Of course, that's not all! We'll also wander the Pilbara dressed in a Martian spacesuit, step inside Ford's state-of-the-art virtual design lab (and play with all the gadgets on that fancy self-parking Focus), consider whether the Cloud is actually evil, and explode a turkey.
Why do we explode a turkey? You'll never know unless you read PopSci #36!
