Hm. I have to challenge a list that doesn’t include George Alec Effinger’s Circuit’s Edge. I get that it was written after the hayday of Infocom, but it was completely within the spirit and craft.

It isn't really related to the Infocom that released the Zork games, except in a legal sense. Infocom was sold to Activision in 1986, and shut down as a studio in 1989. Circuit's Edge was published in 1990, labelled "Infocom" but just because that's the brand Activision chose to market it under.
