[The Techno-Galactic Guide to Software Observation](http://www.books.constantvzw.org/nl/home/tgso) gathers methods from the Techno-Galactic Software Observatory. 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.

On Friday 7 September 2018 we celebrated the launch of the guide with a [streaming radioshow](http://constantvzw.org/site/The-Techno-Galactic-Guide-to-Software-Observation-A-streaming-book-launch.html) from Constant studio in WTC25. With live contributions from various international observers.
