1865

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll is released.
It is often described as a mind control book, dealing with self-sustaining Kafkaesque insanity, asymmetrical logic and Identity Switches.
"Down the Rabbit-Hole", the Chapter 1 title, has become a popular term for going into an adventure to the unknown.
In the film 'The Matrix', Morpheus says to Neo: "I imagine that right now you're feeling a bit like Alice. Tumbling down the rabbit hole?"
He also says, "You take the red pill and you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes."
In computer gaming, a "rabbit hole" may refer to the initiating element that drives the player to enter the game.
