Adam Cadre (born February 5, 1974 in Silver Spring, Maryland) is a U.S. writer active in a number of forms ― novels, screenplays, webcomics, essays ― but best known for his work in interactive fiction. His 1998 piece Photopia pioneered a new direction in interactive fiction, removing the gaming elements that had previously been dominant; it has been cited as "hugely influential to IF development" and "important to video games as a whole, to the advancement of our understanding of the interactive medium." His next IF work, 1999's Varicella, won several XYZZY Awards and became the subject of academic study.
Chief among his non-interactive work is a novel, Ready, Okay! (2000, ISBN 0-06-019558-4).
Cadre hosts the Lyttle Lytton Contest every year from his web site.

“When Adam found his rib was gone
He cursed and sighed and cried and swore
And looked with cold resentment on
The creature God has used it for.”
