Simulation, stories, and fictional worlds

Patrick Colm Hogan. Behav Brain Sci. .

Abstract

The authors explain our attraction to strange, literary places as resulting from our attraction to strange places in real life. I believe this is correct and important. The aim of the following commentary is to show that their main conclusion is closely related to - even (retrospectively) predictable from - the operation of simulation and the consequences of that operation for storytelling.
