Insightful and presents new models. One of the best books on storytelling I've read in many years.

At times like reading a dream, not sure I fully understood all the concepts contained and I’d love a follow up book with some practical examples or a toolkit approach. Unlike anything I’ve ever read and all the better for it.

Algunos conceptos los acerca más al suelo para su comprensión pero muchos otros los difumina demasiado y entremezcla con una extraña prosa que a veces suena demasiado new age.
La estructura, casi por párrafos con ideas dedicadas, tampoco ayuda demasiado porque no parece haber una consistencia real entre un párrafo y otro y casi parece una obra escrita a trompicones.
No digo que no se pueda sacar alguna idea del libro pero, desde luego, debería ser leído solo después de un puñado más de libros y casi como curiosidad por el autor.

This book reads like a poem. If you love drama, art, science, and of course games I'd give it a go. It's especially inspiring for those looking to lead more positive lives. I know it's help me reassess my own actions. It's a bit of a self-help book too.

This book is an art treatise of the highest caliber. Not a simple how-to, but a flow of consciousness about creating deeper and more meaningful worlds, even reality. It's small but thick.
