Storytelling in the Digital Age

We Tell Stories - 'The 21 Steps' by Charles Cumming

UK design company Six to Start won Best in Show at this week's SXSW Web Awards. Their project, "Telling Stories", was a six part experiment with Penguin books.

The project took mainstream authors, gave them classic novels for inspiration, and then twinned them with a design team to come up with new ways to tell stories online.

All of the stories are worth perusing, but my favorite was Charles Cumming's "The 21 Steps", which is told via a Google Maps style interface (satellite view).
