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 remember one time going into a Books-A-Million and being flabbergasted when I asked someone at the Information desk to look and see if they had anything by T.S. Elliot in stock, and she said, "What does the T. stand for?"
