Who built
this place?

Yossi as a child with family

I’m Josef Mass. Yossi if you know me well enough to ignore the paperwork.

I’m an economist by training, an operator by career, and apparently the proprietor of a small intellectual village populated by robot gauchos, Australian cattlemen, interstellar civilizations, cognitive architectures and dogs.

The professional work and research usually appear as Josef Mass. The fiction usually appears as Josef Damian Mass. There is no deeper branding theory. That is simply what happened.

Department of Domestic Affairs

The dogs have
jurisdiction.

Senior cultural attaché

Cochito

Jazz-oriented. Longstanding resident. The village’s institutional memory and, according to several unreliable sources, its most competent administrator.

Junior inspector

Jolene

Algae, thunder, suspicious corners and unacceptable beach textures. Enforcement powers remain unclear but are exercised frequently.
