It all happened at once when I was analyzing a memory dump from one computer system. The horrors of that computation were haunting me since I visited an astrology section in a local bookshop and conceived the concept of build date astrology. It was still haunting me when I suddenly realized the hidden meaning of astrology. The result of this haunting is the concept of software astrology and the following book is planned to address this gap:
Software Astrology: An Introduction (ISBN: 978-1906717414)
Please do not mistake software astrology with astrology software. This the same difference as software science vs. science software.
Some might say that software astrology is pure anthropomorphism. I would say this is the other side of applying a computer metaphor to human brains and a machine metaphor to Life. This is just one example of the so called metaphorical bijections. If we can go in one direction why not to try the very opposite and apply human characteristics and relationships to software? And have some fun…
