A. Hon is an ARG (Alternate Reality Game) pioneer whose work bridges immersive gaming narratives and contemporary conspiracy phenomena. The course readings cite Hon's analysis of QAnon's structural similarities to ARGs—arguing that understanding game mechanics of collective puzzle-solving and narrative construction illuminates how misinformation spreads through participatory architectures. This work is crucial for examining how algorithmic platforms and social networks weaponize the same engagement patterns that made ARGs compelling artistic experiences.
