WIRED

Mar 01 2022
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.

“WILL PEOPLE STILL LIKE ME IF THEY SEE ME WITH OATMILK?”

RANTS AND RAVES

Machine Mastery • The history—and racist resurrection—of Black androids.

Lurking Is Learning • The internet has made me immune to a coherent narrative. In order to truly understand anything, I’ve taught myself to read networks.

Startup Downfalls • Three new books explore why fledgling companies flounder—and what founders can do about it.

READOUT • The world, quantified.

The Endemic Times • It’s clear that Covid will always be with us. Now we all must decide how much illness and death we can tolerate—and how much work we’ll do to prevent more.

CHARTGEIST

Obit Players • Inside the online death economy, where opportunistic companies scrape websites for obituaries and publish their own versions, raking in traffic—and millions of dollars.

Space on Earth • Iceland’s singular landscapes have become a proving ground for equipment destined for missions to other worlds.

The Best of CES • FROM A BIRD-WATCHING feeder to a color-changing EV, we saw hundreds of new and upcoming devices at the 2022 edition of the Las Vegas consumer tech showcase—from our Omicron-free home offices. These are some of the products, prototypes, and efforts that illuminated the path to the future.

DEAR CLOUD SUPPORT: Do Good Doorbell Cams Make Good Neighbors? • I haven’t been burglarized or anything, but I’m feeling some pressure to get one of those Ring surveillance systems for my front porch—the ones that record 24/7 video. Seems smart, but friends are telling me it’s a bad look. Would it be unneighborly of me? Am I just an untrusting, untrustworthy gentrifier? —CONCERNED CITIZEN

TOKE DETECTOR • There is no scientific way to tell if someone is driving while stoned. That’s a problem for law enforcement—and drivers. One company is determined to fix that. But can a weed sobriety test really work?
