This issue considers conviction, performance and make-believe as political forces: in technology and labour, in energy futures and off-grid fantasies, in empire and in the economics of fire. Nishant Choksi's cover—a slipping mask—sets the tone for an issue in which political authority and mass mobilisation are shown to be bound up with performance.
