The Disappearance of James Dallas Egbert III

It traces the complexities surrounding Egbert's life, including his academic brilliance and struggles with substance abuse, while critiquing the focus on gaming narratives. The discussion also reflects on the cultural impact of the 1984 novel 'Mazes and Monsters' and its portrayal of gaming amidst the fears of the time.
