Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
In terms of both style and content, Wired was so over-the-top to begin with that it seemed almost parody-proof. Yet several satiric homages have already appeared on the Web, and now comes a letter-perfect spoof from the creators of Is Martha Stuart Living?. It's all here: the impenetrable graphics, the cybermeditations by "John Barry Barleycorn," and an adoring profile of a 16-year-old Net-made millionaire. If the humor sometimes descends to geeky lows, well, Connor and Downey are merely being faithful to their source.

Wired Rewired,
By A Customer
This review is from: Re-Wired: A Parody (Paperback)
"Wired" is sort of a krackerjack name to begin with, so I didn't think it'd be too darn hard to make a parody of the pop magazine. It's a good book, but, then again, it has it's flaws like a new computer has error messages. It's not as good as Martha Stuart's Better Than You at Entertaining, but it'll do if you are a technofreak, like myself..
4.0 out of 5 stars
Not nearly as effective a parody as Wired itself,
By A Customer
This review is from: Re-Wired: A Parody (Paperback)
Some of this book is indeed funny -- but I have to admitthat Wired itself is often more full of (unintentional)howlers than _Rewired_. If you consider yourself a member of the digerati, you will probably want to have a copy of this book on your living room java-table anyway... or just go out and get the next issue of Wired and laugh just as much.
