In this interview, we talk about basically none of those.
Instead we focus on Eliza, the new Zachtronics-published visual novel that finally puts his writing (and to a lesser, though significant degree, his audio) front and center. It’s a game about human connections, moral responsibility, burnout, and the problems that technology and futurism are ill-equipped to solve. So mostly, that’s what we talk about.
And if you want to hear way more about Zachtronics, here are the episodes featuring the one and only Zach Barth:
17. On the Art of the Anti-Puzzle
———
• Here’s the web-based version of the original Eliza.
• It was Arlie Russell Hochschild who first talked about emotional labor, most famously in The Managed Heart. What the hell was I thinking when I said Donna Haraway? “Manifesto for Cyborgs,” probably, since that’s relevant to Eliza for other, gender-and-tech reasons.
• Homosexuality became officially not-a-pathology in 1973.
• Here’s that Science Vs about eugenics.
• And here’s Matthew’s game The Arboretum.
• Full disclosure, for those who consider saying nice things about a video game to be the most sacred of trusts: I did some testing/proofreading/incredibly minor script consulting for Eliza.
