Angus Fletcher Biography

Angus Fletcher is a professor of story science at Ohio State University's Project Narrative, a leading academic center for studying stories. With dual degrees in neuroscience (BS, University of Michigan) and literature (PhD, Yale), he combines empirical methods, from ancient rhetoric to modern science, to explore how narratives impact cognition, behavior, and mental health. His book, “Wonderworks: The 25 Most Powerful Inventions in the History of Literature” (2021), examines how literary techniques enhance creativity, resilience, and overall well-being. 

His forthcoming book, “Primal Intelligence” (August 2025), examines human narrative intelligence as distinct from that of AI.
