The Resurgence of Choose Your Own Adventure

Netflix has done it again, leaving their indelible mark on popular culture and making us long for a forgotten relic from a bygone time. With the release and subsequent popularity of Bandersnatch, the Black Mirror movie where you call the shots and your decisions lead to different scenes and scenarios, Netflix has sparked a wave of nostalgia for the originators of the genre: Chooseco and The Choose Your Own Adventure books.

Originating in the mid-1970s, the Choose Your Own Adventure books became not just a staple of children’s literature, but some of the best selling books of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, with an estimated 250 million books sold between 1979 and 1998 once publication began through Bantam books. The books were a gateway into the creativity and imagination of many a young reader, but their popularity waned in the age of video games and the internet.

Thanks to Bandersnatch, however, Netflix has rekindled what seemed to have been a forgotten love for the books, this despite Chooseco’s trademark infringement legal challenge against the streaming service.

The world lost R.A. Montgomery back in 2014, as one of the co-creators, key contributors, and authors of the Choose Your Own Adventure series he revolutionized the way children approached books, reading, and indeed, imagination.
