Wassup,
Welcome to the first issue of ORDER OF THE SHADOW WOLF, a cyberpunk e-zine
in true original text format. This is how e-zines looked before the dawn of
the internet in the 1980s and early 1990s. They were distributed via BBS's
(Bulletin Board Systems check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRap7uw9iWI
for a cool documentary on this subject with lots of hot guyz). People
would download these e-zines on their 300 baud modems and read them on
their monochrome green screens late at night. Difficult to imagine now
but doing this felt like the most exciting thing in the world, surrounded
by a mystique of hacker romanticism and being a cyberpunk pioneer. It
was a time when your mum and retarded jock cousin weren't on the internet,
even more hardcore...you were probably the only person in your whole town or
area logged into cyberspace!

These E-zines were text files written by Hackers, freaks, nerds, Sci-Fi
fans, outcasts, psychotic weirdos, mad dealers and kindred folk, about what
was happening in their lives, to reach out to other people with similar
interests, lonely people  scattered around the world connecting in
CYBERSPACE and creating their own micro cultures around their hobbies and
beliefs. Most of these e-zines would be about hacking and anarchic subjects.
They  would have cool names like MAGIK (Master Anarchists Giving Illicit
Knowledge) MINDCRIME, The Scrolls of Serenia, HAKD (Ho'z ASCII Anarchy
Komputerz and  Drugz), SURFPUNK Technical Journal, some of them like the
legendary PHRACK and HEX40 magazines still exist today.

I always wanted to make a cyberzine like those, especially nowadays were
it seems that all these original romantic vibes of the cyberpunk/space
world  are falling apart with corporate institutions dumbing everything
down. CYBERSPACE is not facebook, twitter, LinkedIn or your google+
prison which scans every fart you make to sell you more useless stuff you
don't need for your consumer selfie "look at me I am so happy" lifestyle.
CYBERSPACE extends all over the place, lightyears removed from your
lolcatz and facebook likes...a transcendental hyperreality matrix
from seedy little corners only visited by enlightened freaks to an infinite
world of clandestine knowledge that extends into infinity without CONTROL

Anyways...a few weeks ago I decided to finally make this society arch nemesis
cyberzine, compiling all kinds of articles written by me and my
close associates. Subjects range from Music & production, obsolete computers,
occult sciences, movies, xenology to anything remotely connected or in between
these things and beyond. I hope we can make this cyberzine at least each
quarter of  the year and if possible even monthly...without much
further ado I present you the first issue of ORDER OF THE SHADOW WOLF!

Have fun and may the knowledge presented in these bytes aid you on your
life's path
