A LAND APART
Touting itself as a sovereign state,
the tiny Italian town of Seborga
has its own prince, its own
passports and its own currency—
and with a new leader in place,
all the ambition and intrigue of a
much, much larger country.

NEXT BIG THINGS
Whether it’s improvising
lifesaving devices worthy of
MacGyver, making cars that “talk”
to each other to avoid accidents or
tinkering with all manner of
potentially disruptive technologies,

whose work will actually change
the way we live. Meet six of them.

THREE PERFECT DAYS:
BUENOS AIRES
Having broken free from decades
of political upheaval, Argentina’s
capital is today a thriving metro-
polis marked by a confident,
eclectic mix of influences, extend-
ing to everything from food and
nightlife to art and design.
The result is a city that is both
wholly South American and
absolutely unlike any other.
