The new packages and roundups will be continually updated to include featured curation by publishers—such as CNET's "Living in the Future," TechCrunch's "Features," The Verge's "Gadget News" and "Artificial Intelligence," and Wirecutter's "Deals of the Week"—and high-quality collections selected by Flipboard's editors, including podcasts, opinions, breakthroughs, longer pieces, financing news, and more. "Top Stories," a rundown of the most recent headlines in tech curated by Flipboard's editors, is always visible, while other features and guest curation rotates depending on what's happening in the news or in the tech industry's calendar.

Editorially curated roundups that will be featured include Longreads, Reviews, The Full Story (which dives deeper into the biggest story of the day), and Book Picks, a new weekly series. Every Monday a fresh set of book recommendations from a tech influencer is released, starting with WIRED Editor in Chief Nick Thompson's "Five Books I've Recently Read About the Future," followed by selections from Kit CEO Camille Hearst and technology editor Harry McCracken.
