Today's Webtip: How Stories Last

A story about stories told by Neil Gaiman.

The Long Now Foundation was put together to take a somewhat longer view of things. Part of the way they have been doing that has been through collecting information and knowledge, and hosting talks by other people who do the same.

In other words they have been collecting stories, and putting together the information to tell a very long story indeed. So it makes sense that they should ask a story teller about how stories exist over time.

If you would rather watch the lecture, you can do that at the longnow.org blog. You can also find links to their past lectures on things ranging from Mars to the collapse of civilization.
