The Truths in Fiction: Part two

from We're lying, but that's ok

Today we'll discuss the purpose of stories in societies and why genres like fantasy and science fiction are so good at drawing people in and creating hard-core fans. Could it really just be escapism? Story "experts" like Jonathon Gottschall and Lisa Cron believe stories are more than that. Can a story literally change lives?
