This book is normally available only on CD-ROM, but through a special agreement with the authors, it is available for purchase as an e-book through this Web site.
The purpose of the guidebook is to introduce StoryTech as a modern application of ancient and powerful cultural software. Early humans widely employed stories for communicating new and old ideas and conveying lessons learned from past experiences. Stories provided the means by which individuals interacted with each other for collective purposes.
StoryTech is a modern expression of that ancient technology. It updates the technology by presenting modern-day options for powerful story telling. It is about addressing the purpose, structure, and process of stories to provide new opportunities for change and to enhance new transformations.

From the book’s prologue:
StoryTech offers a dynamic 21st century approach for integrating the power of your personal stories with the collective wisdom of groups, organizations, and societies. This Guidebook will introduce you to a very old process that enhances your strategic ability to deal with change and opportunity.
This Guidebook is written in a holographic, non-linear style. In order to satisfy your curiosity and uniqueness, the chapters are not chained together sequentially. You are encouraged to select chapters that have immediate interest to you and read the remaining chapters as your curiosity evolves. Key concepts repetitively appear across different chapters where they are presented from different perspectives and with different objectives. You are encouraged to apply your individual uniqueness in reading this Guidebook. The Guidebook will then become unique to you!
The writing style is purposely kept lively and explorative. StoryTech is an exciting and constantly evolving subject. Hence, you the reader and we, the writers, must explore the topic together. This is accomplished, in part, by inviting you to actively engage in a variety of challenging exercises. Each of the exercises contained in this Guidebook explores the capabilities, promises, and rewards of the StoryTech process and is part of the process of constructing individual knowledge.
We hope that you will enjoy reading this Guidebook to StoryTech as much as we have enjoyed preparing it!
