The Download
The Download is MIT Technology Review's weekday newsletter. The sign-up page calls it your daily dose of what's up in emerging technology, and it says the email arrives every weekday morning.
The same preferences page lists other letters, including The Algorithm, China Report, The Spark, The Checkup and Weekend Reads. It marks The Debrief with Mat Honan as Subscriber Exclusive. It does not put that label on The Download, and it does not state a price for The Download.
