WIRED: Icons

Over the course of WIRED's first 20 years, our writers have embedded with the CEOs, engineers, and thinkers who have shaped the future we live in today. WIRED:Icons presents 16 heroes who have graced the magazine's pages, including Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, George Lucas, and more. You'll enjoy this collection for all the usual reasons: great characters, evocative writing, provocative insights. You'll also find something unique: a vision of our present through the streaked window of the past.
