IF Theory Emily Short and Dennis G. Jerz (editors) Publication date TBD   Until now, writing about interactive fiction has concentrated on its implementation: on detailed accounts of how to make the relevant computer programs do the right thing, in one design system (such as Inform) or another. This ambitious project, already well-advanced, is to publish the first book dedicated to theories of interactive fiction: how it functions as a literary genre, what possibilities it offers, how it has been used to date. A collection of papers by many of the world's leading IF designers and critics, grouped into broad subject areas. IF Theory home page    Emily Short and Dennis G.
