Postdigital Storytelling
Postdigital Storytelling explores how we tell stories in the twenty-first century, and how modes and forms of creativity have changed in the post-digital age.
This book argues that metamodernism has brought with it a new kind of creative modality in which the divide between the digital and non-digital is no longer binary and oppositional. Jordan explores the emerging poetics of this inherently transmedial and hybridic postdigital condition through a detailed analysis of hypertextual, locative mobile and collaborative storytelling.
With a focus on twenty-first century storytelling, including print-based and nondigital art forms, the book ultimately widens our understanding of the modes and forms of metamodernist creativity.

My book examines what creativity means and how it is practiced in the twenty-first century.
To do this, it examines two things: first it grapples with the idea that postmodernism is dead by asking what has now replaced it. And then secondly, it thinks about how the concept of postdigitality helps in understanding the emerging poetics of an inherently transmedial and hybridic condition.
