Features: What is Wired magazine? In 1993, Wired magazine burst onto the scene as a visionary and advocate for the digital age. Blending technology and innovation, science and medicine, business and global policy, and art and culture, Wired revolutionized the style of traditional tech magazines. Standing at the forefront of the era, ited all emerging trends that would change our lives. It can be said that China's understanding of the internet began with reading Wired magazine. What is Wired a book about? It's a business story, chronicling how founders led by Louis Rossetto sought profit opportunities and business models, how they convinced venture capitalists, and how they successfully went public. But it's more than that—a spiritual legend that shows how youth overcomes age, innocence overcomes cynicism, and passion ultimately overcomes all temptations. Through this book, Chinese readers will learn that the protagonists of the new economy boom are not just figures like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang, but also a group of new cultural preachers and advocates, such as Louis Rossetto and Kevin Kelly. They founded media, set up online communities, and gathered elites for gatherings, where countless new ideas took root and deeply influenced the era.
