Blackbook80 -v0.44- By Medio Ting Here
BlackBook80 is not meant to be read cover-to-cover. It is a tool to be wielded. Follow this workflow:
Step 1: The Calibration Open the book to a random page. Read the first number you see. This is your "drift coefficient" for the day. If the number is low, stay indoors. If high, take the longest route possible to your destination.
Step 2: The Observation Use the "City-Scan" technique described in Chapter 12. Look for the color Cyan (#00FFFF) in your environment. BlackBook80 -v0.44- By Medio Ting
Step 3: The Interaction Find a public terminal (a payphone, an ATM, a digital map kiosk). Enter the date of your birth multiplied by the current hour. The book claims this grants you temporary "System Admin" privileges over your own fate for the next 20 minutes.
