I think Ben is visualizing something on a somewhat larger scale...
apparently the concept is that Mondo is gone and Wired is SL1, so there's
an unexploited ecological niche for a future tech magazine that actually
"gets it". It'd take at least one project leader willing to devote her
life to it, though, at least if you want to reach for a 100,000
circulation such as Mondo had at its height. There's a lot of
technoliterati magazines already out there, not just Wired.
