Another year lies ahead of science, technology and innovation. And PopSci remains as your steady guide, stalwart companion, and the rest of it. Kicking off with insect drones! Argh they're in my hair! But should we be worried about them? And what are engineers learning by making their tiny aircraft fly like bugs?

Meanwhile, we pick the 20 biggest ideas that will shape science and technology in the year ahead. How will our world look after another 12 months? Which irritating piece of consumer electronics will our children be demanding we buy for them?

Elsewhere we strap our outgoing Editor-in-Chief Jake Ward into a simulated rocket and simulate shooting him into simulated space. That's what happens to you if you quit from PopSci, see. But it raises a question: if you could afford a trip into space, could you stomach the training?

And we review an indulgent hybrid limousine, the ultimate Windows 8 creative tablet, ride a jet-powered luge and oh about fifty other awesome things. All in a single issue of PopSci! Imagine subscribing for a whole YEAR!
