The section on finding IF is designed to help you find interactive fiction that suits your tastes. This reading list has a different purpose: identifying particularly influential or unusual work that has shaped the development of interactive fiction or probed the extreme boundaries of the medium.

"The intention of this work is to address matters of Interactive Fiction's craft and theory; to review where IF has recently been, and offer some thoughts as to where it may go; to pull together some of the seminal discussion on Interactive Fiction, and to commission new material to advance our understanding."
