- Step into the Great Underground Empire and uncover how Zork and Infocom transformed lines of text into entire worlds. Blending historical research, literary analysis, and first-hand testimony, this book traces the rise of interactive fiction from its roots in MIT’s computer labs to its breakthrough as a best-selling game phenomenon.
