The one stop thread for Techno-Mage issues I deemed "finished" to be pinned. Several stories were started that didn't finish, like 'Back to Back', or 'Hotpatch'.

You can also find the following (and more) here: https://analognowhere.com/techno-mage

Originally sorted by seeming story chronology, but new issues always go to the top.

If you would like to support my work with a monetary donation, you can do so here https://analognowhere.com/support Note that this will not improve the quality of my work or reveal any secrets.

Either way, if you enjoy what I make, I'm glad.

FREQUENTLY QUESTIONED QUES- ugh, 9front did me dirty.

#-1 What is surrealism?

• Pure psychic automatism.

#0 Are you single?

• The lore of unix_surrealism, techno-mage and by extension the entirety of the Analog Nowhere universe is opensource. You are free to customize and add to it, as you see fit. However, upstream (me), is governed only by surrealism.

#1 What year was the Techno-Mage born?

• 2525

#2 How many OpenBlades are there

• Just the one. OpenBlade(AI) is/was/will-be(?) a prototypical technology developed by MilTek inc. in order to deal with the raising prices of gunpowder, commissioned by the UCSEAA . In 2374, MilTek would be acquired by MATA inc. The surviving hardware was recovered from the Museum of Open Technology by the one remaining blowfish, patched and gifted to the Techno-Mage in 2534.

#3 What's UCSEAA?

• United Corporate States of Euro-Afro-America, a failed attempt at unifying (a portion of) the globe.

#4 What's the deal with the socket in the grown-up Techno-Mage's forehead?

• That's OpenWellington, only 6 were ever produced. It's a bus that allows its user to interface with machines. As opposed to the vastly popular MATA developed Jack2Head, OpenWellington does not transmit any data to centralized servers. OpenWellington was developed by Charles Wellington, the original author of OpenBladeAI, the operating system of the (inappropriately) named OpenBlade hardware.

#5 What is the Corpo-Foss war?

• a global conflict between corporations and the remainder of free people. The war would end in 2449 inconclusively. Most of the planet reduced to deserts, with corpo-controlled enclaves spread about, known as METACITIES.

#6 Are you sucking out all these answers out of your thumb?

• There are about 400 posts somewhere in the fediverse under the #unix_surrealism tag, which may yield more information, but, yes, I am sucking it out of my thumb. And I don't even like it - most of the time.

#7 What does the techno-mage run?

• she runs BSD

#8 What is MATA?

• the big bad

#9 What's the point?

• exactly.

#10 If there was a wikipedia page made about unix_surrealism, who would be in the influences section?

• Marcel Duchamp, Jindrich Styrsky, Andre Breton, Vitezslav Nezval, qrstuv

#11 Who is the face of unix_surrealism?!

• Jindřich Štyrský

#12 Who?

• Huh?
