Greetings reader. At the time of writing, these past couple days have brought along a string of difficulties–our single car is out of commission, sleepless nights, and more that I won’t detail. An upside: times like these push us to consider, “Is there a better way?” Asking that question led me to the reflections in this volume’s essay, and the Warp explores other applications such as ways of doing things better in society, working with our hands, and curating our words.

In this inaugural volume we briefly consider the role of technology in our lives and work; first with a report of a rancher with a make-do philosophy, and then with some consideration of the techno-utopia—can we engineer our way to a better future?
