"*The Techno-Galactic Guide to Software Observation* is the obsessive fantasy of optimization turned on its head and stuck to the ceiling of a self-reflecting elevator. It is the ultimate book, with almost 300 pages of dos and don’ts, of forgotten histories and un-inevitable futures, of mindful agile actions and improvisational service architectures, of any and all things that you can and cannot imagine needing in a techno-galaxy."
*The Techno-Galactic Guide to Software Observation* gathers methods from the *Techno-Galactic Software Observatory*, a worksession that took place in June 2017 at the Constant headquarters in Brussels. It was collectively edited by Carlin Wing, Martino Morandi, Peggy Pierrot, Anita Burato, Christoph Haag, Michael Murtaugh, Femke Snelting, Seda Gürses and designed by Christoph Haag.
The book-launch can be attended online at [http://observatory.constantvzw.org/stream](http://observatory.constantvzw.org/stream) or offline at the WTC25 in Brussels.
