About “Living Will”<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

To experience \u201cLiving Will,\u201d<\/a> a story-game and interactive fiction, the reader must choose to be one of the heirs of Coltan-magnate E.R. Millhouse, who has made his fortune in the Democratic Republic of Congo. While reading, the heir navigates this unique legal instrument, slowly accruing medical and legal fees, while also grabbing bequests from her fellow heirs.\u00a0 The piece explores the long shadow of colonialism, the conflict minerals buried in our mobile phones, and the heart of darkness of a dying imperialist seeking to extend his control beyond the grave.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiving Will\u201d was written using an open-source JavaScript platform called Undum developed by Ian Millington. The story can be viewed in a browser, though readers may want to \u201cview source,\u201d since several scholars have noted that the story continues into the code.\u00a0 \u201cLiving Will\u201d has been published in SpringGun Press<\/em> and was on the shortlist for the 2012 New Media Writing Prize. It is being translated into French for bleuOrange Revue<\/em>.<\/p>\n
