The Text

Introductory Remarks

Inevitably, the waves of change simply destroy or at least 
sweep-asside those still clinging to the old story (the 
reactionary response; or rather lack there-of).

And those that embrace the "new story" -- the story as 
transforming way, the hero's journey, etc. They are 
saved by the story and progress onward, and in the end
struggle forward -- and yet survive. Thus, the need for
radical change (or not).  Thus, 2001: A Space Odyssey, etc.
