In which one magazine can you read about nuclear holocausts in Siberia and about the latest developments in robotic AI? About Hawking’s space-time continuum theory and about Gates’ penchant for building the XBox? About digital film production and about development of new ice-cream flavours. From medicine to space laboratories and from fighter aircraft to NASCAR tech - Wired has it all. Or As Al Pacino might have said, ’’Is this magazine something or is this magazine something!’’ SOMEthing, indeed!
I think Wired is one of the BEST publications around, across all categories of magazines. Some people actually think it’s a ’’computer magazine’’. Heavens! Certainly, Wired talks about computers and computing also, but it is certainly NOT a ’’computer magazine’’! Not in the sense of PC Magazine or PC World etc! This is about technology, and how it affects the lives of those who use it. As well as of those who choose not to. Any developments in any area of any technology, and Wired talks about it. The design - inside and out - is eclectic, totally cool. The only rule is that there IS no rule.
The writing is brilliant. Wired writers have the knack of grabbing people by their brains, and make their neural synapses go into full-fire mode. Sensory hyperdrive! Overload, overload...
If you love reading, get Wired. If you don’t love reading, get Wired anyway, and carry it with you wherever you go. Makes a big impression on people :-D
Yeah Baby!
