Why I Tell Stories in 5D

The book Mass Transit Muse is a 5D Story.  It merges 1. book, 2. film (Mass Transit Shorts), 
3. music (music-book), 4. live performance (stage-play), and 5. immersive experience (public transit performances) to tell the story of a rider moved from disconnection to community.  This is the storytelling of the future because it allows multiple access points and multiple income generation streams to flow to and from one story.   

The smart folk at MIT think this is the way of the future...

So do the big-bank gamers...

Henry Jenkins, Provost Professor of Communication, Journalism, and Cinematic Arts, a joint professorship at the USC Annenberg School for Communication, thinks it makes sense too.

“The highest-paid person in the first half of this century will be the storyteller. All professionals, including advertisers, teachers, entrepreneurs, politicians, athletes and religious leaders, will be valued for their ability to create stories that will captivate their audiences." 
- Rolf Jensen former director of the Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies

“It’s all a question of story. we are in trouble just now because we do not have a good story. We are in between stories. the old story, the account of how the world came to be and how we fit into it, is no longer effective. Yet we have not learned the new story”.  
- Thomas Berry, Theologian, Philosopher, and Cultural Historian
