The selfie revolution continues with Wired giving its readers the chance to replace BuzzFeed's Jonah Peretti on a digital cover of the magazine.

Selfie enthusiasts must download the Wired app, and follow the instructions to generate a custom cover. If shared on social media, the picture will be entered to appear in Wired's February issue.

The selfie has had an impressive run recently: being named the Oxford Dictionary's word of the year, playing a role in U.S. President Barack Obama's visit to Nelson Mandela's memorial service and even getting NASA astronauts in on the fun.

The issue takes an in-depth look at Peretti, who co-founded The Huffington Post, and went on to start BuzzFeed in 2006.
