Reviews

Research has yet to fully grapple with the ways in which our media practices have been shaped by our engagement with increasingly fragmented media texts. This powerful book remedies that, showing how narrative still plays a fundamental role in our experience of tying together disparate pieces of information. Media platforms may evolve, but narrative still lies at the core of human existence. Emiliano Trere, Cardiff University, UK
