CraftBook - Creating Stories

Our lives are shaped by the stories we tell each other. Through books and movies we can experience realities that differ from our own and explore what might happen in the future. The CraftBook website features articles looking at themes found in such works of fiction and technologies that could make those imagined worlds into reality.

Content on the CraftBook site includes a quiz, that will test your knowledge of books and movies. There is a personality test that might help you to better understand yourself and other people, or develop characters for your own stories. You could also download the free eBook Creative Intelligence, which might help you to develop your creative skills.
