Note: Magazine for computer & entertainment technology which - according to a 2023 essay reviewing the magazine's 40 year history - grew out of the extra pages added to the magazine Elrad which were named 'Computing Today'. In the beginning the magazine was published once a month, but switched to a biweekly schedule in 1997. From 1988 on, each issue features a piece of original short fiction (although it's not a prerequisite for being published in the magazine, the stories the publisher receives are almost entirely science fiction). Most stories appear complete in one issue. If a longer story is considered particularly good, it is split into two or three parts. The minimum length is approximately 6000 characters, which is one page in the magazine. The maximum length is 50,000 characters as explained on the story editor's page at heise.de. The responsible editors for those stories were Bernd Behr (until 2018) and Peter Schmitz (from 2018 on). Until the end of 2017 all but two stories published since 1987 were illustrated by either Susanne Wustmann or Michael Thiele.
