I came across a new magazine that I feel the readers of sci.v-w
might find of interest.

Wired
PO Box 191826
San Francisco, CA  94119-1826
(1-800-so-wired)
$19.95 per year (6 issues)

It is in the same vein as Mondo 2000, but less annoying.  At 112 pages
it is bigger and cheaper.  Its greatest assest is that it didn't have
a reference to Dirk and Sandy.

Contents (partial list)

War is Virtual Hell by Bruce Sterling
A fairly comprehensive article on DARPA's SIMNET, its current use and
its future.

Screams of Conciousness by Steward Brand
An interview with Camiller Paglia ("the bad girl of feminism"), in which
Brand compares her to Marshall McLuhan.

This is a Naked Lady
The requisite article on simulated/VR sex.  Every mag of this genre must
cover this topic.

Homebrew VR
Covers PCVR and REND386.

Various software and book reviews are interspersed along with several
other articles on the history of libraries, phreaking, Inslaw and much
much more.

As we say in Texas, "Joe Bob says check it out."
