Zach WeinersmithHannah Arendt is another, though I'm less a fan of her writing style. Dickens is another, and Gaskell maybe my favorite. But there's a real skill in trying to see what's out your window (or on your phone) as part of the sublime movement of history.
I think there's an extent to which activism and artistry are opposed, in that the former is trying to achieve some end now and the latter is trying to make things that are permanent and not about the present.
But there are rare exceptions, such as Orwell, or Arthur Koestler or especially Hunter S Thompson. I fine Thompson particularly compelling as someone who can take an article on a thing that happened last week and somehow let the whole universe peek around its edges.

I don't see this is a bad thing the editors did. I can see why they wanted to do it, and probably would've done the same. But I suppose it's a casualty of such an era that the Great Conversation, about free will, language, mathematics, etc. gets hard to hear over all the shouting.

SciFi/Fantasy Magazine CoversCreepy no. 95 (1978)
The caption says "gorilla" but honestly they look more like chimps to me? And to complicate things we have "See Evil! Hear Evil! Speak Evil!" which inverts the three wise monkeys.
This cover does its job perfectly, because you want to read the story.
