This book is comprised of the opening quotes (manifestos) of Wired magazine that influenced the graphics, text and visuals of each issue. Marshall McLuhan, in the first issue of Wired and the first page of this volume, is quoted from his book in 1967, 'The Medium is the Massage,' "The medium, or process, of our time - electrical technology - is reshaping and restructuring patterns of social interdependence and every aspect of our personal life. It is forcing us to reconsider and re-evaluate practically every thought, every action, and every institution formerly taken for granted. Everything is changing...You, your education, your family, your neighborhood, your government, your job, your relationship to 'the others.' And they 're changing dramatically." The remaining IntroQuotes from Wired are presented in dramatic colors with clear, bold typography and visual effects. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
