The Stanley Parable (Book edition)
Now the monitors jumped to life, their true nature revealed. Each bore the numbers of an employee in the building: Stanley's co-workers. The lives of so many individuals reduced to images on a screen. And Stanley, one of them, eternally monitored in this place where freedom meant nothing.
This mind control facility... It was too horrible to believe; it couldn't be true. Had Stanley really been in someone's control all this time? Was this the only reason he was happy with his boring job? That his emotions had been manipulated to accept it blindly?
No! He refused to believe it. He couldn't accept it; his own life in someone else's control? Never! It was unthinkable, Wasn't it? Was it even possible?
Had he truly spent his entire life utterly blind to the world?
