Top ShelfTemporada 1
TV-Y
This summer, Top Shelf is back and better than ever. We're taking deep looks at the technology we see and don't see, the technology we watch and the technology that watches us. The way we eat and drink, the way we play, the way we work, the way we get around - it's different today than it was yesterday, and it's probably going to change again tomorrow. We'll be here, working through what it all means, and figuring out what's next. Watch every episode at: theverge.com/video/top-shelf

Projections will illuminate across your living room, turning your furniture Pleasantville black-and-white to project the somber tone that the game detects from your heartbeat.

Let David Pierce, Nilay Patel, and Ross Miller be your guide. - Heart, Mind, and ConsoleE13
Heart, Mind, and ConsoleAt E3 2013, we saw the future. The future of video games. The future of the PS4 and the Xbox. The future of angrily yelling at random people while we massacre them in Halo.

Lost in TransmissionThe future of TV doesn't just rest in Netflix's hands, or Comcast's.

Join David Pierce and friends as they step inside the home of the future - and the home we can have tomorrow. - The Droid Days of SummerE18
The Droid Days of SummerGoogle used to just be a search engine. Now it makes software, hardware, apps, and everything in between.

But now you know how many steps you took, how many calories you burned, what your bowels were doing at the time, and whether or not that pasta you ate is really helping. With the right apps and gadgets, there's nothing you can't track about yourself. But what happens when our lives become a series of numbers and charts? This is Top Shelf. Join David Pierce and friends as they look inside the "quantified self" phenomenon, and try to figure out who will be the Google of our bowel movements. - The future of bikes and bikingE20

But bikes mostly look the same as they always have.

And there are a few changes you'll notice as soon as your foot hits the pedal. This is Top Shelf. Join David Pierce and friends as they look into the future of two-wheeled transportation, and find out why it might be more high-tech than we think. - Camp ShelfE21
Camp ShelfWe spend a lot of time sitting in our homes or at work, staring at screens. But that's not all technology is; even the most rustic, most remote places are being touched by technology. Or, at least, they're being overrun by technology when the Top Shelf crew goes camping. This is Top Shelf. Join David Pierce and friends as they head out into the wilderness to discover how gadgets and technology affect camping — and whether that's a good thing or not.
