anyone have any science fantasty book recs? magic hackers are my jam but the only series i know of [webmage] i already finished

Oooh. I FEEL like i have something like this but will have to get back to u bc my brain is hyperfocusing on something else rn

i feel like.... someone rec'd it to me....

oh! the Scholomance series is a really fun "technical aspects of magic" type setting (it's not really magic tech though, more like "magic as a complicated science"?)

Machineries of Empire is technically sci-fi but the science is basically a magical imperialism metaphor

Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence is more 'magic as contract law' than 'magic as computer science', but might hit that itch.

have you tried the So You Want to be a Wizard series? it's fantasy but it focuses on the science of manipulating the world

or if you want something a little more on the fantasy side of things: Gideon the Ninth since it's necromancers in space

OH YES the Young Wizard books! (starting with So You Want to Be a Wizard?)

The third one in particular, High Magic, is explicitly magic computer science/programming/robotics

seconding gideon the ninth! i'm reading it rn, it slaps

thirding Gideon!!!
