Humans like stories. Humans need stories. Stories are good. Stories work. Story clarifies and captures the essence of the human spirit. Story, in all its formsโof life, of love, of knowledgeโhas traced the upward surge of mankind. And story, you mark my words, will be with the last human to draw breath.
