At press time, Slate will publish a post headlined “The Slate Post You Are Currently Reading: An Oral History.” Within four hours of publication, it will fall off Slate’s Most Read list; within two days, it will completely sink into the vast digital backwater, accessible to people who search for it, but otherwise unread. It will launch no careers, fundamentally change nothing about the way we live or the stories we tell ourselves, and, in countless ways, it will completely fail to define our era. To help understand why, we conducted a series of interviews with the people behind “The Slate Post You Are Currently Reading: An Oral History” about its creation, its publication, and its complicated legacy.
