“The New Inquiry is evidence of book culture’s lastingly bright future. This next generation of essayists and critics rightly see new media as a profound opportunity— and they’re acting on it.”

  —Jonathan Lethem
“The New Inquiry is uniquely onto leveraging the power of decentralized and social media to force new thinking into the public debate. They are not print’s replacement, but very possibly its salvation.”

—Douglas Rushkoff
“The New Inquiry is an elegant and quietly urgent canvass of critical honor and cultural intelligence.  Long may it thrive.”

—Todd Gitlin
“For me, the most mysterious and special thing about New Inquiry is that it’s a left-leaning critical journal of contemporary culture that is not depressing. I’m not sure how they pull it off, but I’m very impressed.”

–Elif Batuman
