Illusion of Authorship

“With interactivity, one tries to give the “illusion of authorship” to people who couldn’t otherwise author.

Thought: maybe the need to be told stories is like the need to have sex. If you want to hear a story, you want to hear a story – you want to be passive and sit back around the fire and listen. You don’t want to write the story yourself.”
