‘For Future Reference’

The US edition of the original tech magazine from Condé Nast.

This May/June edition of Wired is titled ‘The War Machine’, responding to the inescapable ubiquity of war in 2026, both at home and on foreign soil. In lieu of an editor’s letter, the issue dives straight in with a conversation between Steven Levy and Kalshi co-founder and CEO Tarek Mansour; the pair sat down to discuss the origins of the New York-based digital platform and ‘prediction market’, which Tarek contends is ‘completely different’ to gambling in its scope and potential. 

Elsewhere, Anna Holmes investigates the youthful appeal of new dumb phone ‘Tin Can’; editorial director Katie Drummond illuminates the human cost of the war machine—augmented by the relentless drive for technological innovation; in a striking cover story spanning 14 pages, Palestinian journalist Mahmoud Mushtaha reports on the search for missing loved ones in Gaza; whilst, a second cover story by Maddy Crowell follows six-months in the life of a Chicago-based family living in fear of ICE.
