Video–Virtual Reality: Your Brain on Fiction

Early in October, I joined Robert Burton, former Chief of Neurology at Mt. Zion-USCF, Mark Vonnegut, memoirist, Elaine Petrocelli, president of the beloved Bay Area bookstore Book Passge, and Stanford professor Blakey Vermeule for a Litquake panel at the Mechanics Institute Library, entitled Virtual Reality: The Effect of Fiction on Your Mind. Thanks to Evan Karp for videotaping the entire event, which is excerpted here, and thanks to Ransom Stephens for putting the panel together.
