Created by journalist Beenish Ahmed, The Alignist is a book subscription box with a lofty mission: Facilitate a deep understanding of a place, and its politics and culture, through a novel. Each box comes with an international-set novel and an accompanying "road map," which connects the author's words to historical facts. The road map often features Q&As with experts. Subscribers to the "Whole Box" package also get other goodies related to the book. Past boxes include the Rwanda Box, the Brazil Box, the Syria Box, and many more.
