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.

God help the poor mathematical geniuses who accidentally discover that math. If they're lucky, they end up working for the Laundry.

If they're really lucky, they'll end up working for the Laundry only once. Residual Human Resources is a bad way to go out.

So that explains the apparent undead working for them...I only read the first book or three and it's been a minute. This is the sign for me to go back and finish the series.
