Michael Wolff says that great magazines are aspirational; they create a world you want to be a part of but can never really be a part of. That was Wired for me. I wanted to be shiny and connected. I even loved the way the magazines looked and felt. Each Wired had a striped spine, alternating two slick saturated colors like a long thin chessboard, so if you stacked the magazines from floor to ceiling you got this very cool neon confetti effect. So there I was, age 17, BBS proprietor, reporter at the school paper, Wired fan, paging through Wired 3.06 until I got to a story called The Curse of Xanadu by Gary Wolf. And stopped.
