Success is making sure you get there first. Thats why you need Wired, the award-winning monthly that connects you to the people, companies, technologies, and ideas that are transforming the way we live. Wired is a full-color monthly American magazine and on-line periodical published in San Francisco, California since March 1993. Owned by Condé Nast Publications, it reports on how technology affects culture, the economy, and politics. Wireds editorial stance was originally inspired by the ideas of Canadian media theorist Marshall McLuhan, credited as the magazines patron saint in early colophons. Wired has both been admired and disliked for its strong libertarian principles, its enthusiastic embrace of techno-utopianism, and its sometimes experimental layout with its bold use of fluorescent and metallic inks. 12 issues per year
