World Logic

World Logic explores the crucial art of crafting believable fictional worlds, vital for both creators and audiences of Film & Television and Language Arts. The book emphasizes the importance of internal logic – the consistent set of rules that govern a fictional universe – illustrating how adherence to these self-imposed rules enhances narrative impact. A key insight is that successful world-building isn't about mimicking reality but about establishing believable parameters and consistently operating within them, ensuring audience engagement and preventing the shattering of disbelief.

The book progresses systematically, dissecting successful and unsuccessful examples of world-building across various media and genres. It examines core elements such as history, geography, societal structures, and technology, demonstrating how their consistent interaction shapes immersive narratives.

By integrating theoretical frameworks from narratology, semiotics, and insights from cognitive science and game theory, World Logic offers a unique perspective on narrative design and audience perception. Written in an accessible style, the book avoids technical jargon while providing practical insights for writers, filmmakers, and game designers. It offers case studies and exercises to apply these principles, focusing on the underlying mechanics of world-building rather than marketing strategies.

Ultimately, World Logic equips readers with the tools to create resonant and enduring fictional worlds, improving not only entertainment but also the development of serious games and educational tools.
