The Short Version
Decoding stories using a million years of evidence, by Kevin Ashton, author of The Story of Stories.
The Long(er) Version
The book The Story of Stories—The Million-Year History of a Uniquely Human Art uses science and history to explain how and why stories change our minds, and how that can be used to help and harm us—especially with modern technologies like social media. The newsletter The Story of Stories applies this science and history to think critically about all sorts of stories, from books to business plans to memos to movies to news to posts on platforms like Tik-Tok and X to TV shows and beyond.
