Biren) at home, Ciaran Thapar outside his cocoon, Enrique Giner de los Ríos on his dream house, Andrés Jaque on transscalarity and Leah Singer on remembering to bring flowers.
This is where the magazine's back section changed shape: from issue 30 the interviews are followed by a suite of commissioned essays and fiction, a pattern that grew in the issues after it.
