Chair of the Month

In doing research for Issue 19, I chanced upon a website called Work Design Magazine. I do not sneer at it: the world of work, after all, needs to be improved. If only for wage slaves to have somewhere nicer to plot their escapes.

Amazingly, they have a column called Chair of the Month in which they review a different office chair each time. It’s been running since March 2023.

One shouldn’t really be amazed. Of course a publication about office design would take an interest in chairs. It’s still funny though.

The granularity of special interest and trade magazines was precisely the spark that set off New Escapologist in the first place. Ours is a niche magazine for those engaged in plotting their escape. That’s supposed to be funny because it makes one wonder what the contents of such a magazine could possibly be, what our equivalent of “Chair of the Month” might be.

For anyone yet to buy a copy of our physical magazine, our columns include:

* Workplace Woes – in which our readers blow off steam about their crap workplaces
* Scarpernautics – the latest technical developments for those on the run
* Notices for Wage Slaves – a pin board for those still stuck in day jobs
* Master Flee – a letter from your Escapologist-in-Chief

We also print escape-relevant cultural reviews, lengthy feature articles that might concern escape artists, interviews with expert lock pickers, and thoughtful columns from those who’ve legged it.

And here’s where to get our latest issue.
