issue 1.0: reboot
It's hard to feel like we aren't always rebooting. A new government system. A new conflict. A new biological breakthrough. A new computer. And more breaking news… We live in a time where we're constantly forced to adapt—to be the wave that swathes the boulder, and not the boulder itself.

Still, reboots keep the world spinning and innovating. This is both good and bad. Older generations can't seem to catch up with new fads. Your eyes pique at the new robot barista. Decades of creative practice amalgamate to something greater. We are always at the crux of self-expression, technological prowess, and interconnectedness, but the “move fast and break things” mindset leads to balances unchecked and precautions bypassed.

How can we keep up?
We hope you’ll reinvent the wheel with us in our very first issue.
