WIRED

Apr 01 2021
Magazine

The Wired mission is to tell the world something they've never heard before in a way they've never seen before. It's about turning new ideas into everyday reality. It's about seeding our community of influencers with the ideas that will shape and transform our collective future. Wired readers want to know how technology is changing the world, and they're interested in big, relevant ideas, even if those ideas challenge their assumptions—or blow their minds.

ON THE COVER

RANTS AND RAVES

Catfishing, the Hidden History • How the online troublemakers can sometimes—sometimes —set us free.

CHARTGEIST

The Preppie Handbook • If you’re readying for doomsday, I’d be happy to share my methods. Caveat: No gear included.

“Hey, Watcha Working On?” • There are ways to make remote work feel not-so-remote—and they’re not Zoom or Slack. Enter the chatty new world of copresence apps.

READOUT • The world, quantified.

Deploy the Carbon Eaters • Facilities that suck CO2 out of the air could be powerful weapons for fighting climate change. But rolling them out quickly enough would require a massive wartime-scale effort.

Our Natural Networks

Our Sims, Ourselves • Sometimes a game isn’t just a game. It can make you see clearly what you want IRL, and not only in San Myshuno.

ANGRY NERD

The Right Stuff • Tread lightly on the planet with shoes, clothes, and other gear made from upcycled and recycled materials.

WIRED RECOMMENDS • The latest picks from our reviews team.

DEAR CLOUD SUPPORT: Help! I Can’t Stop Staring at My Own Face • I don’t think I’m a particularly vain person, but whenever I’m on a Zoom call, I’m constantly looking at my own face instead of focusing on the other people. I’m not really admiring myself or scrutinizing my appearance. I’m just … looking. What is this doing to my self-image? Should I turn off the self-view to avoid becoming a total narcissist? —SEEN

THE MAN WHO SOLD THE FUTURE • How the shape of artificial intelligence—and the fate of the tech industry—went up for auction in a Lake Tahoe hotel room.

FEATURES

DEAR BIRTH MOTHER

GOD VIEW

HOW TO REMEMBER A DISASTER WITHOUT BEING SHATTERED BY IT

FLIGHT PATHS • The secret history of the world’s first microprocessor, the F-14 Tomcat, and me.

THE HYPERREAL LIFE • AS CHINA’S SCI-FI AUTHORS ARE ELEVATED TO THE STATUS OF NEW AGE PROPHETS, CHEN QIUFAN’S CAREER—LIKE HIS GENRE’S PLACE IN SOCIETY—HAS GONE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS.

COLOPHON

THEY WERE IN THE SAME ROOM.
