Tweet Facebook G+ Pin it Scoop it LinkedIn Foreword If I were an architect designing a building I would look to nature – to the great creator, to God, if you like – for structures and principles, for design and style, for strength and beauty and for methods that have evolved over time. As communicators, we can do the same. In this book reams of theory has been distilled into practical, simple tools for understanding and applying the power of story. Ever thought why as evolved beings we don’t have more useful dreams at night? Why no one dreams in bullet points? Why the film industry is so large? Or why the gaming industry – which loves narrative based games – is even larger? Why we paint the day in stories, not facts, when we come home to our families? In the Middle East, centuries ago, a bearded man, a familiar boy who’d grown and looked like any other, trained in his father’s humble profession, stepped out on to a mountain and delivered simple stories that have been repeated ever since. Jesus, for me the most effective communicator there ever was, used parables.

  • Exhibition Hall
    exhibition hall 15 the weird west exhibition hall - november 2010 chris garcia - editor, ariane wolfe - fashion editor james bacon - london bureau chief, ric flair - whooooooooooo! contact can be made at [email protected] Well, October was one of the stronger months for Steampunk in the public eye. No conventions in October, which is rare these days, but there was the Steampunk Fortnight on Tor.com. They had some seriously good stuff, including writing from Diana Vick, who also appears in these pages, and myself! There was a great piece from Nisi Shawl that mentioned the amazing panel that she, Liz Gorinsky, Michael Swanwick and Ann VanderMeer were on at World Fantasy last year. Jaymee Goh had a piece on Commodification and Post-Modernism that was well-written, though slightly troubling to me. Stephen Hunt’s Steampunk Timeline was good stuff, and the omnipresent GD Falksen (who has never written for us!) had a couple of good piece. Me? I wrote an article about how Tomorrowland was the signpost for the rise of Steampunk. You can read it at http://www.tor.com/blogs/2010/10/goodbye-tomorrow- hello-yesterday. The second piece is all about an amusement park called Gaslight in New Orleans. I’ll let you decide about that one - http://www.tor.com/blogs/2010/10/gaslight- amusement. The final one all about The Cleveland Steamers. This much attention is a good thing for Steampunk, especially from a site like Tor.com, a gateway for a lot of SF readers who aren’t necessarily a part of fandom.
