The WIRED 100

Illustration by Wired

Since 2010, Wired has regularly canvassed its network of entrepreneurs, investors, designers, scientists and policymakers to identify the key influencers in the WIRED world. It asks them to list the people at that moment who are shaping our culture, the tech economy, consumer behaviour, scientific discovery - in short, the people making things happen.  Responses are processes to collate a consensus, cancelling out biases and personal conflicts as to rank the top 100 global influencers.  Meet the 2016 WIRED 100 Part One.
