Eating may have several possible effects. First, you could become less hungry than you were. But not necessarily: eating some items might make your hunger worse. Second, you could become less able to eat than you were; that is, you could fill up on bulk. This is probably not a good idea in the long run, unless you're trying to gain weight. Third, there could be one or more intoxication affects, if the food is drugged or poisoned. Fourth, there could be one or more nutritional affects, depending on the type of food. Whew! - makes you want to kindof watch what you put down your throat, doesn't it? Good, that's the idea.

"[...] the computer as literary agent ultimately points beyond narrative and toward ergotic modes -- dialogic forms of improvisation and free play between the cyborgs that today's literate computer users (and their programs) have become. What we need in order to achieve this is not an automated playwright or narrator but simulated worlds with emergent intrigants, interesting enough to make real people want to spend time and creative energy there."
