For today's class we learnt about non-linear narratives and were shown examples of Seven Story Shapes by Katherine Phelps. We were also shown an example of a computer-generated cybertext called Eliza and we were given the chance to interact with it. We were then asked to research an Alternate Reality Game of our choice. I chose Never Rest Game which is a new counter-terroism ARG in which players must thwart terrorism by using their own methods against them when they least expect it. The interesting thing about this ARG is that it describes itself as explicitly educational and is more of an Instructional Alternate Reality Game (I-ARG).

Towards the end of the lesson, we watched a movie called Run Lola Run which showed an example of a non-linear story.
