Books have a longer time dimension, but it’s generally unauthored. Books often take months to read. But they almost never have an *authored* time dimension like that of films or plays. The days and weeks are rarely specified by the author the way minutes are by a filmmaker.

@michael_nielsen and I have been excited about how the mnemonic medium creates a context where readers continue interacting with an author's work after the initial reading session. It's a mass medium with a weakly authored time component.Show this thread -
In an upcoming mnemonic essay, we exert more authorial control over time, adding questions which evolve over weeks of review sessions. But there's much, much more to explore there!

Can you all think of any other good examples of a mass medium with a lengthy, strongly authored time dimension?

Another example: Execute Program (by
@garybernhardt) offers interactive lessons for programming tools. Each course unlocks over time, as you complete and review earlier lessons. This lets each lesson's prose stay unusually focused. https://www.executeprogram.com https://tinyurl.com/ralqyreShow this thread

I'm not so sure WoW has a different time authoring than a book. But I'd also round books up and WoW down to make the equivalence. They both perhaps operate in a separate timeline the audience keeps. "My character is doing x. Book Character is doing x" We keep a separate timeline

Consider how these both DO work over months with a variety of paces but try taking in a movie or song like this.
