About this entry
A defining entry in the Top 100 Tech. Sitting at number 24, Mooncalf Light Pen earned its place through a combination of craft, context, and consensus among the twenty-four editors who maintain this list. The companions immediately above and below it on this ranking are worth reading in the same sitting. The editors’ note placed it here on the basis of three criteria: durability across re-reads (or re-watches, or re-plays), influence on the entries that came after it, and the degree to which it could only have been made by the person — or team — who made it.
In the comparative table maintained by the Tech desk, Mooncalf Light Pen sits within a band of 21 – 27 that contains some of the most contested swaps of the year. Editors vote with arguments; a swap requires three editors and one written defense.
