# Welcome to the Autonomy Engine

Are you frustrated by the state of the world? Good, that means you're awake.

The world is kind of messed up right now, and I am sorry to say that nobody else
is going to fix it for you. This is the first tenet of autonomy, the
understanding and acceptance of your own agency - if you want to fix things,
you will need to learn how to do it yourself. The good news is, you don't
have to do it on your own. There's an old man in the cave over there, and he has
something for you.

**IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE! TAKE THIS.**

he says, hearkening back to the classic 1986 NES game *Battletoads*. Unlike the
old man in that narrative, however, this one has a bit more information to give
you before you set off on your quest.

## Wait, is this a sword?

In a way, yes. The autonomy engine is a tool for immersive education on how to
use your computer to become a more empowered member of the increasingly
digitalized society we live in today.
