The Collected Creative Output of Mr. Ben Hammersley
Wired 1.3 – The Hidden Persuaders issue
The third issue of Wired UK officially goes on sale today. It’s our best yet. From the subliminal message cover and the Ben Goldacre piece on Matthias Rath, to the New Hidden Persuaders feature, pieces from Africa and the US, and the usual top columns from Russell Davies, Warren Ellis and Matt Ridley, we’re all very proud of it.
The art department, led by Andrew Diprose, have done a stellar job. The magazine is full of easter-eggs: the cover’s secret messages, the hidden pictures of the editorial staff, cunningly placed extracts from (Condé Nast’s Editorial Director) Nicholas Coleridge’s latest novel, and more.
And we’re also featuring our new contributing editors, Jer “Blprnt” Thorp, and Geoff “Bldgblog” Manaugh, for the first time. Tom Steinberg, planetary-scale engineering, the evolution of ballet, and Chanel’s new perfume technology, all feature, alongside David Allen, Kevin Kelly, and 7 Nobel Prize winners.
Meanwhile, we’re sending issue 4 to print tomorrow. And that, my friends, is even better.
