🍀 Coming Soon: Kernel Magazine Issue 4

Plus: Join us for the inaugural Reboot Community Day on March 23!

In one month, we’ll be publishing LUCK, the fourth issue of Kernel Magazine, Reboot’s twice yearly print publication. With this issue, we ask what are the odds? —we take a look into the muddled portals of luck, chance, and probability and see how we can use these concepts to understand the world around us. The stories in this issue take us through long-defunct online serendipity engines and visions of San Francisco’s near future; they look inward to grapple with fate and loss and outward to question how we organize our communities and make art. 

We’re so excited to share everything this issue has to offer – non-fiction features & interviews, short stories, poems, illustrations, and more – but for now, we’ll start by sharing two things:

First: Come hang out with us! To commemorate the Kernel 4 launch, we’ll be holding the inaugural Reboot Community Day on Saturday, March 23, an all-day, in-person symposium at the KQED building in San Francisco. Join us for creative workshops, group discussions, chances to meet your fellow Reboot community members, and something that we have been referring to as the “Hot Take Arena.”

Tickets for the all day event are $20 (and come with lunch)—if you just want to join us for the Kernel 4 launch itself at the end of the day, tickets for that are $10. Attendees can add on a copy of the magazine for a discounted price of $20. As always, we have student/low-income discounts available—let us know how we can help you attend! 

If you aren’t in the Bay Area and want to host or attend a Kernel launch event, email me at jacob@joinreboot.org! We can help you set up an event in your city. More information coming soon on that.

Second: Cover reveal! (All credit goes to the incredible Kristy Xue Gao):

Doesn’t that look cool as hell?

Stay tuned over the next month for more previews from Kernel 4 (as well as your standard, also extremely good Reboot newsletter offerings)—for now, good luck!

See you all soon,
