Xiaowei Wang

The creative director of Logic magazine and the author of Blockchain Chicken Farm, Xiaowei Wang studied landscape architecture and software development before focusing on writing about technology. “There’s one mode of writing where you’re explaining things,” Wang said in a 2020 interview, “and then there’s another mode of writing, which is giving people something—like a tool, or a way of being, understanding, or interacting in the world. I’m drawn to that second mode, because that’s kind of like the feeling of making software: you’re giving people this prosthetic or thing to mediate or see the world anew.”
