+# Cyborg
+
+> `Cyborg` is an absolute nightmare.
+> A twisted factory.
+> A disgusting Enmanglement.
+> A perfect melding of terrifying machinic heartlessness and disappointing human fallacy.
+> A repulsive reaper of all of human consciousness -- but mostly SIGGRAPH presentations.
+> H.R Giger's irreconcilable reality... if H.R. Giger was a computer programmer.
+
+Cyborg is a free-form rendering engine that we mash whatever the fuck we feel
+like into. It's a test bed for all sorts of modern rendering technology. Our
+goal is to take techniques and features from modern game engines and reimplement
+them on our own, for the sake of education, performance, and reusability. We
+wanna *make shit work.*
+
+> We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.
+> Resistance is futile.

+
+We also want to give artists a playground for generating all sorts of unique
+3D visuals -- custom shaders, procedurally generated meshes and textures,
+and a focus on *interesting* visuals.
+Realism is a non-goal!
+Make shrooms obsolete.
+Go wild.
+
+Modularity and reusability are important. We wanna be able to unplug certain
+parts of the rendering pipeline, upgrade them, fix them, document them, commit
+them, tag them, etc., then stick them back in in a different place to end up
+with a different resulting image.
+
+Cyborg is written in Rust because *FIGHT ME*. I fucking **mean it**. Shut up.
+
+It's licensed under the GPL-v3.0 becaaaaauuuuuuse make me not license it under
+an actually free software license how about that. You can't stop me. You don't
+know where I live.
