Wired 93: part four
From pages 47 – 59:
- a lengthy discussion of Nintendo’s moral obligations to some of the graphic or explicit imagery and language in Maniac Mansion (I wonder what they would have made of Manhunt 2?)
- an ad for a CD burner the size of the Macintosh with which it was intended to be used
- perhaps the strangest page layout for the cover story about William Gibson in Singapore – seriously, it looks like a bad trade show advertisement (above)
- description of Singapore’s Teleview precursor to the Internet, launched in 1987
- “According to recent polls, large segments of the American population think the media is attentive to trivia, and indifferent to what really matters. They also believe that the media does not report the country’s problems, but instead is a part of them.”
