I have only 4 issues of this quarterly magazine from the early 1990s. The rest seem nowhere to be found online, at least so far as my efforts. Each issue was a unique 'deep-dive' into topics only scratched by the articles in Scientific American's 'Mathematical Recreations' and, later, 'Computer Recreations'.
Does anyone else have issues? We need to group any extant copies together and digitize them for www.archive.org. Please contact me if you have any issues.
I contacted the University of Waterloo's CS department back in 2016, and they stated they had contacted Dr. Dewdney himself about it but I never heard back so I think it's up to us, the internet at large, to preserve this unique snapshot of the hobbyist/enthusiast computer scientist era.

Our economy, educational system, heck our entire society is basically structured (ideally, from the ruling/moneyed class's perspective) to keep the great masses just happy enough not to revolt, keep the machines working, and no more. Many people literally cannot afford to make every life choice based only on their ethics.
