Charles Stross' Laundry series is basically this concept set in the present day: magic is a branch of mathematics, which means it can be computed and programmed.
It is perhaps worth noting at this point the series genre is cosmic horror.
The gender is actually Lovecraftian, spy thriller, science fiction, and workplace humour source.
It's seriously the best thing I have read in a decade.
Edit: genre I guess ๐ (have been learning French lately so sometimes it messes it all up!).
Gender really is a complex topic huh?
I've known a few people whose gender I would describe as lovecraftian.
It's all the appendages, huh.
I keep getting told not to fetishise another's gender, but my porn addled brain sees tentacles and short circuits to knee socks and midriffs.
You know fun fact I learned recently from a let's play: tentacles only refer to the appendages which end in suckers, but along the rest of their length, have no suckers. The other appendages are called arms. So, octopuses actually have no tentacles, they have arms. Squids have 8 arms, and 2 extra tentacles, which are the long ones that have little spade shaped sucker hands on them. So, probably when you pictured tentacles, you were actually picturing cephalopod arms.
I always give that misspelling a pass. It's literally the same word borrowed from French twice.
I was for sure wondering what you were meaning for starters ๐. Genre, right?
