Wired (called WIRED) is a magazine written in English. It is issued to readers once a month. They also put up their editions on the Internet, on their own website. Their writers write about politics, the economy, and how new technology changes culture. The magazine belongs to a company called Condé Nast, and has its headquarters in San Francisco, California.^[2]

They have other kinds of their magazine like Wired UK, Wired Italia, etc. In their first “colophons”, they said that a Canadian named Marshall McLuhan was their “patron saint”.^[3] When it started, influence on the magazine’s editorials was strongest about “techno-utopian” stuff.

There is a paywall on the website, which is 20 US dollars a year.^[4] During the time Condé Nast owned the magazine, Wired News took care of the website.
