The most interesting part of Minecraft, for me, is that it is completely spontaneous and open-ended. The world is what I make it, not just literally, by making my own house, farm, castle, etc., but also in the sense that anything can happen to me at any time, based on what I do, not on some script or game parameter.

“I have human friends, obviously. But everything's easier with a cat. He wants a little fish soup in a saucer and the occasional scratch on the head. I want the illusion that an animal bred to trade affection for food can understand the inquietudes of my soul.”
― Anthony Marra, The Tsar of Love and Techno
