GBN Bulletin and Book Club

The GBN Bulletin, launched in 2008, is a symbol of GBN's continued commitment to sharing GBN ideas, experiences, and insights with a wide audience. Published quarterly, it features news about GBN and offers a sampling of our latest projects and perspectives on the trends shaping the future. It also presents news and insights from the GBN Network, with each issue spotlighting one GBN Network member in a longer interview on wide-ranging topics from digital media to demographics and China to climate change. Other features include a literal bulletin board, and, on the last page, a "Big Question" to ponder.

The Bulletin also revives the popular GBN Book Club with its creator, Stewart Brand, returning as editor. The original GBN Book Club (1988-2006), offered an eclectic and provocative mix of new and classic books, research reports, and other media, selected to stretch assumptions and thinking about the future.
