The Storytelling Animal: How Stories Make Us Human by Jonathan Gottschall

4.0

A very interesting book on the evolution of storytelling and its current trajectory. It's well written, easy to digest quickly, and backed up with many facts from psychological experiments exploring the affects of stories on the human brain, especially on memory, emotions and morals. Anyone interested in how storytelling has shaped and been shaped by both human and technological evolution might want to give it a read.
