OK, this is where I admit I don't know who Zork is.
That is because it isn't a who, it's a what! It was a text-based interactive game developed at MIT in the 80's--the precursor to all modern video games, but much more like reading a book than playing a game. If you don't know what it is, that's a good sign: I only know because my father programmed games like it for a while. Very dorky. *points at self*
Delaney is cool - met him at Readercon two or three years ago. He was lovely.
