Corey Powell is the editor-in-chief of Discover Magazine, and is a very smart, funny, and handsome guy — and I’m not just saying that because he’s currently editing a print piece I’ve written for the magazine and I don’t want him to cut a single word of my fabulous prose.

But he is a pretty good writer (for an editor), and for the 30th anniversary of the magazine he’s written a piece called 30 Ways the World Could End. It’s pretty good, and has some fun ideas in it. And since I’m a lowly writer and he’s a lofty editor, I would never dream of mentioning that really his article is about how humanity might end and not the whole world. That would be foolish of me.

Still — and I oughta know — this is a fun topic to think about. And who knows? Maybe we’ll wind up saving the world by thinking about how things might eventually not go our way.

They like me!

This blurb for BA was also in their print mag from December, which came as a total — but very nice — surprise.

Hey Corey, are you listening? I write for print mags sometimes, too!
