Wired Middle East Magazine - Winter 2023

In this issue

The Winter 2023 issue of WIRED Middle East explores the future of our physical and virtual realities. In the late ‘90s, we couldn’t have imagined what the world of Web 2.0 would look like. Today, we’re sitting on the cusp of a fully realized Web 3.0, but what will it look like, and how will it work? This issue, we’ll take our readers on a wild ride through the reality-bending Web 3.0 ecosystem, as we jump from world to world, exploring every nook and cranny of this unfolding arena. While the Web 3.0 market was valued at $7.7 billion in 2022, it’s poised to reach approximately $64 billion by 2029. We speak to industry leaders and change-makers to find out what to expect and how we can build a better, smarter and more human internet. But then there’s the real world, in crisis and barreling towards climate catastrophe. On the heels of COP28, we speak with leaders in sustainability to understand what the future holds for our Earth, as well as the technologies and science that could bring us back from the brink of climate disaster. The magazine also features diverse coverage from across the worlds of science, technology, culture and gear, with everything from smart home technology to the AI revolution, the booming world of lab-grown diamonds and potential for human digital twins.
