60 Second review – I’ve read it, and I’ll let you know if you should, too. And I promise not to burn up more than 60 seconds of your life. This isn’t Cliff Notes® – I won’t try to impress you with my ability to summarize content or highlight key concepts – if you want to understand it – read it.

Why review a magazine for my first 60-second review? Because these reviews are all about highlighting value – and I can’t think of a single publication that time and time again delivers the goods. Rarely do I devour a periodical cover to cover – but Wired sucks me in every time. This is not a publication about technology, it’s about concepts, ideas and trends. The writing is fantastic and for the artsy types, the layout never fails to disappoint. For those with an advertising bent, it regularly carries some of the most interesting ads around.
