Holo-novels aren’t novels, they’re video games
#I GUESS they can be choose-your-own-adventure novels#until I mentally framed them as video games I would always get caught up on how they know what they’re supposed to do in the narrative#holodeck load screen giving you background info like in photons be free#they get that little error noise every time they stray too far from the narrative#or like in lower decks the computer generates a different ai narrative for you#can’t call them holo video games though#holo rpg#nothing wrong with either format but you engage differently with novels and video games#but video games still have a narrative that can go in many directions depending on how you play#who controls the narrative the author or the lector#choose your own adventure books were very big in the 90s#I would always read the whole thing#how very like me to get hung up on insignificant details in the Star Trek universe#hot holodeck discourse over here#star trek voyager#sonic shower thoughts
