Cyber Samurai, the killer app: 'Wired' magazine, voice of the corporate revolution

Article Abstract:

The hottest magazine on the zeigeist stand right now presents cyberspace as the territory of not the cold-minded Organizational Man of a repressive, number-driven society imaged in the 50s and the 60s when the computer was young and misunderstood, but of the punk and the marginal, counter-cultural non-conformists. Its readership: managerial class, with a median income of 80,000 dollars plus.

Article Abstract:
