In your game you wrote that it's loosely based on works by Joe Schmierdorf. A quick google search turned up nothing on ol' Joe. Now I am intrigued. Do you know where a fella could find some of Mr. Schmiedorf's esoteric writings?

Alas, it seems the world has largely forgotten Mr. Schmierdorf. My advice is to begin your search at the dingiest, most poorly-organized used bookstore you can find, one with piles of unsorted books lying around and a huge shelf of yellowed, crumbling sci-fi paperbacks. Barring that, I know for a fact he is listed in the (now defunct) card catalog at the University of Chicago.
Your speaking my language with "begin your search at the dingiest, most poorly-organized used bookstore you can find, one with piles of unsorted books lying around and a huge shelf of yellowed, crumbling sci-fi paperbacks." Unfortunately, these sorts of places are in the process of suffering the same fate as Mr. Schmierdorf: largely being forgotten and closing down. I will keep my eyes open. I now have a quest! To find Mr. Schmierdorf's tomes!
