The Self-Destruction Issue: A Letter From the Editor (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This letter is from THE SELF-DESTRUCTION ISSUE of VICE magazine. Find it in a store near you, or get 4 issues each year sent straight to your door, by subscribing. Hello and welcome to The Self-Destruction Issue. Normally we use this page to talk about the issue’s theme, but in this case, it feels fairly self-explanatory. In addition, you might argue that every issue of this magazine since its inception could’ve been titled The Self-Destruction Issue. So instead of dashing off some kind of pompo
We Hijacked a Fruit Fly’s Brain and Made It Write VICE Headlines (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Towards the end of last week, users on X started playing around with a simulation of a fruit fly brain that had been mapped out by AI. The vibe coders have been giving the online reproduction of the fruit fly’s neural network a range of tasks to perform, including trading crypto (it was rewarded with a dopamine hit every time it made a profitable decision), playing video games like Beat Saber and Doom, and learning how to parallel park on a driving simulator.

Quickly, he went from researching documentaries to hosting them, navigating frontlines in Kurdistan and Ukraine for VICE News, before casually striding off to revoluti
VICE Magazine Presents: The Self-Destruction Issue, Pre-Order Now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I am thrilled to present the summer 2026 edition of VICE magazine: The Self-Destruction Issue. Its 132 scintillating pages take their inspiration from a species that is constantly finding groundbreaking new ways to destroy itself. Inside this issue, we have tales of next-level lizard-brain chicanery. We work with three survivors to investigate a Miami pimp’s diabolical sex cult, hang out with members of the dwindling Yakuza in Japan, and chronicle the face-destroying antics of devout Taoists in
