The content and production went downhill when C-N bought it, but it is still my favorite magazine. A mix of technology and sociology, without the salacious photos found in some other magazines that have perhaps one stellar article per issue.

The subscription is 5 stars but the 2015 Kindle no longer supports the Wired App which means there is no way to read or download past issues that were already purchased.

Wired used to be a lot better than it is now. They seem to be more formulaic with their selection of articles these days whereas 5 or 7 years ago they where more organic and risky. there may have been a dud issue once in a while but their topics made me contemplate ideas and parts of society or technologies that I either didn't know to exist or wrongly thought that I wouldn't be interested in. Now they have some mandatory topic categories that they need to cover in every issue. They even have an obligatory crime/suspense article which while mildly interesting seems to have no place in wired. The media/entertainment section is tired. I skip it completely. I think Wired doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it for geeks or nerds? I serves both of us better than any other magazine out there, don't get me wrong, but I fear it is on a trajectory that will ultimately cause me to not renew one year.

If you are trying to decide wither or not to subscribe, just go to a bookstore and read a copy. If you like it, it is pretty much the same every issue. different content but same formula.

Yea, sometimes Wired gets it wrong. Go back four years and some of their "100%" prediction fail to come to pass.

And, I am old school. I like the touch and feel of a real magazine. And Wired is cool for those who prefer that. But the digital edition for Kindle is exactly what a digital magazine should be.

Animated or video ads, they actually keep my attention. Video segments as an added element to articles? Far better on the digital edition.

Either way, Wired and Fast Company are two magazines you need to subscribe to; dead tree or digital-if you want to keep up.

Take it from a guy who spent three decades in banking, reading the WSJ and Business Week. They can't touch Wired and Fast Company.

For modern-day man! --and woman!
Insightful, jam packed with articles, blurbs and information on cutting edge topics, technology, and the future--great investigative stories--like 10 magazines in one! Get this magazine if you want to have a chance on keeping up with the future.

I have been a subscriber for 3 years and have enjoyed every issue of WIRED. Wired (1-year auto-renewal) It is well worth the subscription price. I like the writing, the articles are written so that anyone can understand the subject matter without seeming condescending. The graphics, layout and photos are appealing, too. Overall, it has a nice, glossy, catchy, NOW feeling, not too heavy, not too fluffy. Just right on the science and heavy subject matter. My sons, ages 27 and 22, both liked it so well (my magazines kept wandering off BEFORE I got to read them) that I got them their own subscription. There is a column on the Top 10 newest coolest. There are articles about the future of technology--without being too uber-geeky. Although there are articles about gaming and computing, it is NOT a gamers mag nor is it a computing magazine. It really is about technology and art and science and basically our brave, new world, to borrow a title. I never fail to learn SOMETHING, neither does my Uber-Geek son. That should tell you something right there. There is a regular feature where they test new technology/products and review & rate it. Wired even has Endgame, a puzzle/game/think test each month--a real challenge, usually.
Wired is a magazine that almost anyone can enjoy if they are interested in modern life, technology or what's new/coming. If you like to be in the know, want to have something to amaze and amuse at the water cooler or just want to sound like you KNOW about what's going on outside the headlines, then WIRED might just fill the void for you...it also makes a GREAT gift for almost any age--from High School and beyond!

I received WIRED free for one year and enjoyed it so much I've renewed for two years. The first thing that surprised me was the quality of the writing. Then, I love their offbeat approach, graphics and humor.

Some months I've started reading and thought, "Gosh, this is going to be a boring issue, I'll have to e-mail them" and then the next article will be a mind blower. The writing throughout is excellent, informational, entertaining, and sprinkled with humor, irony and pops to the mind.

I'm a 68 year old woman who (born too soon) loves technology and wouldn't be without my iPad. I don't understand much of the workings of all the hardware but I'm hooked to information consumption. This magazine is good for that. Thank you, WIRED, for giving us magazine subscribers free access to the tablet edition. Love it! Keep up the good work!

I might add that many of the negative reviews have to do with delivery and not the quality of the magazine itself. I think this is unfair because it drags down the total rate.
