WIRED

July/August 2019
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.

ELECTRIC WORD

TOTALLY WIRED

“WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE YOU ENCOUNTERED WHILE WORKING ON THIS ISSUE?”

MISSED CONNECTIONS • In our May issue, Nicholas Thompson and Fred Vogelstein interviewed 65 current and former employees of Facebook for a cover story on the platform’s hellish past 15 months, and Douglas Preston wrote about how an idle Google search to find a boyhood friend turned up heartbreaking results.

Just Did It! • Finished with your workout? Great—now get in recovery.

MISSION OUT OF CONTROL • The inside story of how Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin struggled to land on the moon, while terrified programmers on Earth scrambled to find out why Apollo 11’s guidance computer kept crashing. Again and again.
