I was just notified that Inside the Castle 2 is out. It’s a book of travels through different AI generated “rooms” written by different authors. Invited by fellow Taper editor Kyle Booten, I submitted my transcripts and the good folks at Inside the Castle compiled all the transcripts into a book. I explored the castle rooms for hours– when I had thought I’d play for 30 minutes. And the castle, full of ideas from different authors, made it extremely engrossing and rich for my imagination.I played for a lot longer than I thought I would, and ended up visiting almost all of the rooms.
I’m looking forward to reading how people traversed through these worlds. This book is a true-to-life textual experience that makes me think of the amazing Otherland series by Tad Williams. In Otherland, people become immersed in an AI generated virtual reality world. I love interactive fiction due to its imaginative potential.
