Placing my arguments on how they can and why they should.

The book consists of 15 narrators each interacting with and interpreting the lead character Athena. Filmmakers on MySpace submit their interpretational videos of each of these narratives. Musicians are also invited to submit a general theme for the movie or themes for specific narrators.

The Web is already Social. But engagement and interaction is still a problem.
