I was a geologist, then a CIO, then an IT Research Analyst. I've written three books - Two on IT and one called Reinventing the C-Suite. That one bombed because what executive wants to be reinvented? Choose your titles carefully.
Then I came across a concept called "narrative transport."
When a reader suspends disbelief to engage with a story, their critical guard drops, allowing embedded facts to be absorbed without intellectual resistance. Because the human brain processes a character’s journey as a lived experience rather than abstract data, these narratives provide a visceral "blueprint" for action that feels personal rather than lectured. Ultimately, because stories are encoded as episodic memories rather than isolated data points, the facts presented within a narrative are not only accepted and modeled but are remembered long after the spreadsheets and white papers have faded into the noise.
I wrote a fiction book on climate change called The Halsbrook Report, and my book in preparation is The Land-Jarman Assessment, dealing with the eductaion crisis.
