Wolf published for The New York Times Magazine,[2][3][4] and Wired. Wolf wrote several long articles for Wired magazine. Among them he wrote an article about Ted Nelson and Project Xanadu,[5] Steve Wozniak,[6] Ray Kurzweil,[7] a long interview with Steve Jobs,[8] and Amazon.[9] He coined the pejorative New Atheism in 2006 to describe the positions promoted by some atheists of the 21st century, among them Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens and Daniel Dennett.[10]
