The Atlantic, which was founded in 1857 by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Longfellow, and other transcendentalist intellectuals, is one of the most widely distributed bookish magazines in the country. The magazine's web presence is well-established, and readers may may be happy to note that the Technology section, which is updated multiple times a week, is a most reliable source for breaking news about the tech world. Recent articles have wondered if the driverless car could survive a fatal accident, whether planes will one day fly themselves, how illegal hackers recruit to their diabolical schemes, and have also included Scottish philosopher Kaveh Waddell's critique of the Silicon Valley, the "domination of information technology over human beings, and the subordination of people to a technological imperative."
