“ We come from the futurity . ”
That ’s been the tagline for io9.com since the website was launched in 2008 . And it ’s a idiomatic expression that perfectly , brilliantly sum up up precisely what both Gizmodo.com and io9.com offer our readers : reasoning , rum , classical despatch from the future — whether that future is contain to the real humans or subsist in a fantastic fictional one . Which is why I knew that when we combined io9 and Gizmodo into one website , a change that wasannouncedearlier this class and take effect today , that would be the tagline to unite and represent the mandate of our novel , integrated publication . So I steal it .
For the last seven years , the team at io9 has done incredible body of work . Theybroke the news about The Hobbit becoming a trilogy(and thenexplained why that was a mistake . ) They ’ve published expose interview withGeorge R.R. Martin , J.J. Abrams , Hugh Jackman , andWilliam Gibson . And they ’ve analyzed everything fromwhy Maleficent fell shorttohow Leonard Nimoy changed televisiontowhy Mad Max : Fury Road was such a goddamn miracle . Plus theyrevealed just how dystopian The Daily Show count when you binge - watch 16 years of it , andhow Star - Blazers can salvage your life .
That deft reporting of civilisation and entertainment is n’t interchange . But by combining io9 and Gizmodo , we ’re offering lecturer a one - stop shop for reporting of technology , scientific discipline , and the fictitious creation that ideate how both might change the world ( for both good and for worse ) . The Gizmodo of the future ( which our newly combined staff — now 30 hard — has consume to calling Iomodo ) will still offer definitive , true technology reportage and product reviews , accessible and bullshit - costless scientific discipline reportage , epicSploideye candy , and “ where the hell did Matt Novak find that?”Paleofutureinsights into the time to come as see from the yesteryear . And now , it ’ll also offer io9 ’s signaturemorning spoilersposts , outrageously detailedmovie trailer deep honkytonk , and thoughtful essay on the signification and macrocosm of dad culture .
And there ’s even more to look forward to . With io9 aboard , our big and well Gizmodo squad will be taking on more ambitious task — from bolder features to a brand new reviews program to some insane video series that you want to see to consider . And we ’ll be making some pattern improvements to well serve all of you , and improve how our stories await and show . The futurity is going to be very sound . Take it from multitude who know .
