Abstract
Digitization enables us to rediscover the essence of communication: participation in the story. Although non-linear narrative may seem very recent and innovative, it is in fact the oldest form of storytelling. Linear narrative only became the norm when plays began to be written down. The narrative tradition of bards, which have been present with one name or another in all cultures, was a non-linear narrative tradition. A perfect example of this is �The Odyssey�, the epic poem attributed to Homer. Experimentation on non-linear narrative within art began at the turn of the 20th century, to increase viewer´s involvement in the story. Technology has created new formats that are ideally suited for nonlinear narrative. The same story can be told using linear and nonlinear narrative, but its structure needs to be adapted to each format.
