The Hinternet is a fictional magazine, published primarily online but with a growing print operation as well. Note, we did not say that it is a magazine for fiction; we said that it is a fictional magazine, as in, a magazine that does not actually exist other than within a fictional universe, like the Cahiers du sens, or the Paris Review of the Mind. If you are reading it, it is likely that you have somehow ended up in that fictional universe yourself.

Here’s what some people are saying about The Hinternet:

“Justin Smith-Ruiu has written himself into the stratosphere.” —Kevin La Torre, “The 6,069 Fictions of Justin Smith-Ruiu”

“The Hinternet is one of the few intellectual endeavors that seems fully and constantly alive to the seismic epistemological implications of the present: the internet, the end of the postwar international (and institutional) framework... The point... is to open up new ways of engaging with the intellectual tradition, new ways of making it live and matter. It’s Machiavelli putting on his toga and cosplaying as a Roman to read Livy, Donne publishing joke Latin library catalogues, Bruno doing basically anything. Very curious to watch where this will go.” —Julianne Werlin, Life and Letters

“The Internet left a hole in our culture the size of the Yucatán crater. The Hinternet is filling it back in, with matter as hot and dense as the core of a neutron star.” —Hélène Le Goff, Managing Editor, The Hinternet

“Just a deep and lovely read.” —Nick Cave

“Delightful.” —Galen Strawson

“I really love the newsletter.” —Ezra Klein

“My subscription to your Substack has proved one of the most enjoyable and enchanting adventures to have befallen me lately.” —Stephen Fry

“I think you are cracking something open… that the entire culture is bashing its head against right now trying to solve. Thank you for this and please keep going.” —Kristen Roupenian
