Gopher's Grit: The Information Subversive

Sure, they’ll say ‘go-fer’... but I’ll be the one going for broke!

Step into the pixelated shoes of Farhad Anklesaria in the early 1990s, a rebellious programmer at the University of Minnesota working on Gopher—a revolutionary protocol that dared to defy the existing structure of information retrieval. Navigate a labyrinth of network politics, hacker culture, and the burgeoning world of the Internet as you attempt to launch this radical new system. Engage with quirky characters, from fervent techies to skeptical administrators, while overcoming obstacles from regulatory pushback and campus bureaucracy. Will you manage to liberate information and inspire others, or will your dreams be squashed by the powers that be? Your choices shape the outcome of Gopher's legacy!
