You might think your time is precious. And it is, sweetheart. But you are not the US secretary of state. (Unless you are, in which case: Thank you for subscribing, Mr. Secretary.)
So we can't exactly hold it against Antony Blinken that, for a recent WIRED Big Interview, his schedulers only gave our photographer something like four minutes. And our video team about 11. Our writer, Garrett Graff, got the most: an astounding 31.
Even more astounding: that Garrett—a veteran WIRED contributor, cybersec specialist, and government whisperer—managed to cover everything from Russian ransomware and competition with China to the State Department's somewhat shocking technological savvy. He even asked about Blinken's dad-rock dreams.
So take a few minutes and read the thing. Or (in a Big Interview first!) watch it on YouTube. You have the time. Blinken does not.
