INIT.WTF_
THE FIRST TRANSMISSION / 2026

Issue 01

Chaos magick, cypherpunk inheritance, the trial of AI, phone-system archaeology, and a post office inside a post office.

The web edition follows the editable manuscript. The downloadable production edition has its own sequence, additional worksheets, and print layouts.
