“SZ Membership,” a subscription service for the Japanese version of “WIRED” that includes members-only content, offers speculative reading and experimentation under the name of “Speculative Zone (SZ).” A stimulating theme is set every week, and the editorial department curates and delivers a selection of long reads packed with insights for the next 10 years (click here for a free trial).

In conjunction with the special feature “THE WORLD IN 2024” to be released on December 18th, we will deliver topics related to the magazine for two weeks. We will quickly introduce articles that foreshadow innovation and paradigm shifts in 2024, such as an interview with biochemist Jennifer Doudna, who appears in the latest issue, and a discussion of neural decoders that read people’s minds by applying artificial intelligence (AI). It’s planned.

In addition, in the fourth week of December, which marks the end of the 23rd year, we will look back on this year’s member-only articles published for SZ members as “10 BEST ARTICLES” by genre such as AI, culture, food and climate change, and publish a newsletter. We will deliver it to you every day. We hope this year’s end will be a great opportunity to read more about world trends, as well as catch up on notable articles you may have missed. Of course, new subscribers can also access all articles published so far.

From here, we will introduce the highlights of each week’s noteworthy articles that will be published in December 2023.
