With no less ambitious an aim than reinventing long-form journalism, the Atavist serves up exclusive narrative nonfiction packed with photos, videos, maps, and more. You buy individual stories, as you would songs, and read them in the app's smart, uncluttered interface.

WIRED Company splits the proceeds with authors. Supplementary multimedia enhances without overwhelming.

TIRED It's early days, so content is limited (eight stories the last time we checked).
