Purpose
Use powerful tools to your own ends.
The world has become more powerful, more connected, and more centralized at the same time. Way Out is about preserving and expanding personal agency within that world: finding your own education, choosing your own tools, shaping your own environment, going places, learning things, building things, and sharing the experience with other people.
Issue Zero is coming.
Autonomy, adventure, technology, and the good life.
