Of course, it’s a joy ride! Let’s be grateful to HBO for the creativity of its teams.
HBO’s The Cube is not transmedia content, however, it’s a form of narration that would be interesting to take a closer took at: transmedia stories could happily adopt some of its concepts.

It goes without saying that when we decided to christen our writing workshop the Transmedia Lab, the name was an homage to the MIT Media Laboratory and to Henri Jenkins, the co-director of the Comparative Media Studies program who coined the concept of transmedia.
