Within the game, at least, control is a given. You have an impact on its world. Other people escape into it. Don’t say that’s not what you are doing too! Well, I see. You create characters on FB and Insta, you post about solidarity and taking vacations with the dog, and you break into a sweat when people don’t like your event. The events experienced by your online avatar. The only difference is that I, unlike you, know that the character in the video game is not me. And right there in the City Park, I thought, “But what if it is?”

“Come, freedom! Give birth for me to order and educate him with fine words, but let him play too, your handsome, serious son!"
