- 33. Why the brain loves stories as social creatures who regularly a鍖liate with strangers, stories are an e鍖ective way to transmit important information and values from one individual or community to the next. Stories that are personal and emotionally compelling engage more of the brain, and thus are better remembered, than simply stating a set of facts. -Paul J.

Editor's Notes
- #8: the most popular publication for children and the most translated English-written book in the worldaccording to The Wall Street Journal. The first edition of Alices Adventures in Wonderland already contained a primitive version of moving pictures, because the readers could flick back and forth between two illustrations of the Cheshire Cats grin was printed on consecutive pages, allowing a reader to make the Cat materialise or dematerialise. By 1915 there were three silent film versions of the story. Since then, Alices Adventures in Wonderland has taken on a variety of new forms the world has not stayed short of different narrative presentations of Alice in Wonderland. lets see some examples
- #12: interactive book. This one was used as a marketing vehicle for Tim Burtons film Once you complete the interactive story, you unlock a promo code for $10 off the upcoming console game.

- #33: but also, stories impact on the choice of medium Digital storytelling cookbook https://wrd.as.uky.edu/sites/default/files/cookbook.pdf Great resource for how to build a narrative http://de.slideshare.net/ulghh/onepageparallax-storytelling-a-quick-guide
- #34: Linear: follow follow classic story structure, the beginning the middle and the end Nonlinear: web is particularly suitable for those narratives. they dont strictly follow the story structure but they still have many of the same parts: heroes, villains, locations, plots. Nonlinear narratives also offer audiences more opportunity for engagement and participation. Extra-narratives combine one central story or topic with lots of branched out content: videos, images, and commentary that enrich that story. Disjointed: PARALLEL NARRATIVES: these show two stories happening at the same time, ideal for contrasts Database narratives: most commonly deployed in data visualizations. a storys meaning often comes from the explanatory copy and juxtapositions of data MICRO-NARRATIVES small, self-contained stories The focus is on the individual story This structure is especially useful for user-generated content: BBC Travel also took thousands of suggestions from contributors and turned them into an immersive experience in their Shorthand story 50 Reasons to #LoveTheWorld, featuring lots of Instagram photos and videos. Participatory narrative: Participatory narrative is a fundamental part of video game design: allowing players to engage with non-linear content in an immersive environment. Mixed narratives: different datasets, tweets, instagram fb posts use diffenret info sources Personalised narratives: personalization is about the extent to which a user can choose content and get inovlved. By involvement, we mean the degree to which users input choices and/or content.
