<p>Hey!</p>
<p>Thanks for your words! If everything goes as planned, I will have
a small assembly / stand on this year's Chaos Communication
Congress in Germany to gather some stories and feedback from
people there.</p>
<p>I'm also still looking for an artist. I managed to sign a
contract with one just before the last year's CCC, but sadly, she
decided to cancel it.<br>
</p>
<p>I should make an official "Looking for Illustrator" page and link
it here :)</p>
<p>Best,</p>

<br>
Last year I realized that the notion of hackerspace and<br>
hackers-as-makers, not just blackhat anarchists is totally
absent from<br>
the mainstream culture. Watch Dogs 2 had a huge
opportunity to change<br>
this, but they only presented warring gangs and vigilantes
trying to<br>
bring down evil corporations.<br>
<br>
After gathering some stories from European, US and African
Spaces I<br>
decided to create Glider Ink - <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://glider.ink/" rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank">https://glider.ink/</a> , a fictional
story<br>
based on real events and characters I met. I have already
managed to<br>
find the most common archetypes and create five main
characters based on<br>
them: Inventor, Activist, Troll, Anarchist and Maker. I'd
like to focus<br>
on the community aspect and how we can create things
together, as<br>
opposed to the Silicon Valley lone genius concept.<br>
<br>
Even though I originally wanted to set the story in
Poland, I might be<br>
changing that to some more or less defined European city.
Seeing hackers<br>
from all over the world, especially Kenya or Philippines I
really don't<br>
want to enforce the stereotype that all of them needs to
be white.<br>
<br>
I'm still working on a script which would be enjoyable
both for actual<br>
hackers and people who haven't heard about them before.

Sadly, I found it that very few artists are up to the
challenge of<br>
trying a de-facto new genre, creating a positive outlook
on technology<br>
outside of dark cyberpunk. If you know any graphic novel
illustrator who<br>
might be interested in working on this project (fully paid
of course),<br>
I'll gladly meet them!<br>
