"Starred Review. Wired contributing editor Rose takes a broad and
deep look at how electronic media are changing storytelling,
inviting an immersion that drills down beneath surface information
and encourages a deeper level of emotional involvement. . . .
Completely fascinating."
*Booklist*
"The definitive book on transmedia—what it really is, where it came
from and how it is changing our culture. A must read for anyone now
in the business of telling stories, which almost certainly includes
you—whatever it is you do."
*Matt Mason, author of The Pirate's Dilemma*
"Frank Rose has written an important, engaging, and provocative
book, asking us to consider the changes the Internet has wrought
with regard to narrative as we have known it, and making it
impossible to ever watch a movie or a TV show in quite the same
way."
*Peter Biskind, author of Down and Dirty Pictures and Star*
"Himself a master of good old-fashioned narrative, Frank Rose has
given us the definitive guide to the complex, exciting and
sometimes scary future of storytelling."
*Steven Levy, author of Hackers*
