WE LOVE LAMP
Designer Mona Sharma’s
task lamp can be dimmed
to emit a warm and soft
glow like an accent light or
cranked up to full bright-
ness to illuminate a work-
space. Its physical footprint
is tiny, and so is its envi-
ronmental one: Both the
13-inch-tall housing (avail-
able in green, white, or
black) and the frosted
lens are 3D-printed out of
corn-based plastic. Gantri

COMMAND CENTER
Google Assistant is our
favorite way to control
a smart home, and the
Home Hub Max is one of
the best vessels for the
virtual helper. Streaming
music and YouTube vids
sound impressive through
the stereo speakers, and
video chats look superb
thanks to the onboard
camera. When Assistant
fails to understand spoken
commands, just tap them
out on the 10-inch touch-
screen. Google Nest Hub
Max | $229

TRUE CYBERCRIME
Author and wired security
reporter Andy Greenberg
tells the globe-spanning
detective story of the

paralyzed railways and
postal systems and even
disrupted power grids.
Sandworm traces the
Russian team behind the
exploits and examines how
the digital and physical
battlefields have merged in
our fight against computer
crime. Sandworm | $29

COAT OF WARMS
The interior of this breath-
able jacket is stuffed with
insulation made of 50 per-
cent recycled merino wool
fleece, which retains its
warming properties even
if it gets wet. But it likely
won’t, since the durable
water-repellent shell blocks
drizzle, wind, and any other
irksome elements out
there in the wintry wonder-
land. Smartwool Women’s
Smartloft-X 60 Hoodie
Full Zip | $250
