"I don't think anybody would argue now that the Internet isn't becoming a major factor in our lives. ..." — Douglas Adams

I think you get most of the most interesting work done in fields where people don't think they're doing art but are merely practicing a craft and working as good craftsmen. Being literate as a writer is good craft, is knowing your job, is knowing how to use your tools properly and not to damage the tools as you use them.

Years and years ago, I did a game based on 'Hitchhiker's Guide' with a company called Infocom, which was a great company. They were doing witty, intelligent, literate games based on text.

I remember very little about writing the first series of 'Hitchhiker's.' It's almost as if someone else wrote it.
