Wired is a bi-monthly American magazine that focuses on how emerging technologies affect culture, the economy, and politics. It is published in both print and online editions by Condé Nast. The magazine has been in publication since its launch in January 1993.[2] Its editorial office is based in San Francisco, California, with its business headquarters located in New York City.

Wired quickly became recognized as the voice of the emerging digital economy and culture[3] and a pace setter in print design and web design.[4][5] From 1998 until 2006, the magazine and its website, Wired.com, experienced separate ownership before being fully consolidated under Condé Nast in 2006. It has won multiple National Magazine Awards[6][7] and has been credited with shaping discourse around the digital revolution. The magazine also coined the term crowdsourcing,[8] as well as its annual tradition of handing out Vaporware Awards.

Wired has launched several international editions, including Wired UK, Wired Italia, Wired Japan, Wired Czech Republic and Slovakia,[9] and Wired Germany. The magazine was published monthly until 2024, when it switched to a bi-monthly schedule with six issues per year.
