Using a codex
Funny video clip on You Tube, (Norwegian, but with English surtitles) showing a user interacting with the helpdesk as he struggles with the new technology.
Enjoy!
And then perhaps join me in thinking about how we might script it differently...
One thing I'd do is add a sequence where the helpdesk guy (HG) explains how the new technology allows non-sequential reading, and the new user (NU) complains that this will mean that readers will never again experience a book as the author intended, from start to finish.
If I think of more I will add them here (dating them) and if you post ones that tickle my fancy I'll add them too...
