Abstract
This thesis asks how the narratives of unfiction projects define and present social values and whether the medium changes the presentation and reception of these themes and values. This is done by conducting a Fantasy Theme Analysis on three unfiction projects: Local58, This House Has People In It, and The Mystery Flesh Pit National Park. Each project dealt with themes and values relating to personal agency, action during times of crisis, and awareness of one’s surroundings. Unfiction utilizes ‘immediacy’ and ‘hypermediacy’ in its presentation of these themes to emphasize the audience’s position as an agent of change in the world.
