The path to getting this game published was not easy. At one time, Barnes and Noble rejected the idea of publishing and selling the game because “Not enough people know who Kurt Vonnegut is” [1].

I walked into a B&N in a wealthy neighborhood of a major city. I went looking for the literature section, couldn't find it, and was finally directed to a narrow set of shelves at the end (i.e., the narrow edge) of an aisle. That was all they had.

Why and when did we discard all that literature?
