505 0  Scheherazade's stories and Pangloss's nose -- Stories for 
       thinking -- The influence of anxiety -- Information

       phenotypes -- Deceiving ourselves and others. 
520    "We tell ourselves stories in order to live," Joan Didion 
       observed in The White Album. Why is this? Michael Austin 
       asks, in Useful Fictions. Why, in particular, are human 
       beings, whose very survival depends on obtaining true 
       information, so drawn to fictional narratives? After all, 
       virtually every human culture reveres some form of 
       storytelling. Might there be an evolutionary reason behind
       our species' need for stories?
