Fans of Wired and its electronic sister Hotwired might like to peruse their
style bible, Wired Style: Principles of English Usage in the Digital Age
(Hardwired, $17.95, ISBN 1 888869 01 1). Edited by Constance Hale, you’ll
either hate it—”loathsome, should be nailed to the desk with a pencil”,
said one colleague—or, if you are a fan of “Way New Journalism”, that
celebration of subjectivity made popular by Tom Wolfe’s The Electric Kool-Aid
Acid Test, you’ll love it. Now you can quote an authority for using the word
“analog” as a more powerful putdown than “anachronistic”. And here you’ll find
the elusive cancelbot, Michael Hart’s Gutenberg Project, and how to pronounce
“alt.” and “warez”.
