2019. Audible.com brings Choose Your Own Adventure Stories to Alexa devices



Amazon’s Audible, in a dazzling display of technophilic whimsy, has embarked on a noble experiment: bringing Choose Your Own Adventure-style storytelling to Alexa devices. This isn’t just your average narrative fare—it’s a professionally orchestrated, voice-controlled leap into the imagination, courtesy of the original Choose Your Own Adventure book series publisher, ChooseCo. Ah, ChooseCo! The same merry band that once jousted legally with Netflix over a particularly cheeky Black Mirror episode, claiming said streaming behemoth had sidestepped acquiring the proper license for the sacred “Choose Your Own Adventure” trademark. Yet, here they are, poised to ride Netflix’s coattails and woo a generation of gadget-wielding youths who now view interactive storytelling as less a novelty and more an art form, or perhaps a delightful new distraction.
