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]


In 2007, with Kevin Kelly,[11] Wolf co-founded the Quantified Self,[1] a collaboration of users and tool makers who share an interest in self-knowledge through self-tracking. In 2010, he spoke about the movement at TED.[12]
