Introducing AMP Stories, a Whole New Way to Read WIRED
A few years ago, WIRED dedicated an entire issue to examining how the smartphone had changed the world. That change continues to evolve: Starting today, if you're using Google to search for something, your results may include a selection of "AMP Stories," including some from us at WIRED.
AMP Stories are an entirely new beast. They're WIRED stories, hosted on WIRED, but while you can read them on a laptop or desktop, they're made with mobile consumption in mind. In some ways, they're not unlike Instagram Stories or our Snapchat Discover editions—you tap through them, rather than scrolling—except they don't disappear, and they're searchable. Below are the first few you can find online as of today, along with links to their full AMP-Story splendor.

We're proud to be part of a very small group of publishers who are creating these stories on day one, and are even more excited to explore new ways to show you what's waiting around the corner. As time goes on, you'll find all kinds of AMP Stories from us. There'll be magazine and web articles that have been optimized for AMP, as well as AMP-exclusive stories that show you a whole new side of the WIRED universe—and they'll all be perfectly crafted for your phone.
WIRED has always been about building a better tomorrow, and part of that mission is finding the best ways to bring our stories to our readers—wherever they are, and however they consume. We hope you're as amped as we are. (Sorry.)
