VITA PAGE:
David M. Boje is a distinguished Professor Emeritus in Management
at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, where he has also
held the position of Regents Professor. Boje is an internationally
recognized scholar with an extensive body of work in
organizational storytelling, ethics, and critical theory. He
earned his Ph.D. at University of Illinois, became assistant
professor at UCLA in 1978, moved on to Loyola Marymount University
in 1988 and became full professor and teacher of the year six
times, then moved to New Mexico State University in 1996 to be a
department head, and head up the doctoral program. He earned the
highest honor, Regents Professor. Since then he has held positions
at ALborg University in Denmark, and is currently an honored
professor at Fisk University.
He is most notably known for his pioneering work in the field of
Quantum Storytelling, a paradigm he has developed to transform
traditional capitalism into what he terms Ecological Capitalism.
His work suggests that through the lens of quantum storytelling,
organizations can better navigate complex, dynamic environments,
fostering sustainability and ethical practices by rethinking the
narratives that shape business strategies and practices.
Boje has published over 150 journal articles and authored or
co-authored over 30 books, including seminal works like
"Narrative Methods for Organization and Communication Research,"
"Storytelling Organizations," and his more recent exploration into
quantum storytelling in "The Future of Storytelling and
Organization: An Antenarrative Handbook." His contributions extend
to the invention of the term "antenarrative," which he
invented in 2001 that explores the pre-story elements that shape
organizational narratives.
As the co-founder of the Quantum Storytelling Conference, held
annually in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Boje brings together scholars,
practitioners, and enthusiasts to delve into how storytelling can
be used to enhance organizational understanding and
transformation. https://quantumstorytelling.org This conference is
co-sponsored by the True Storytelling Institute and the
Organizational Storytelling Review Journal, platforms dedicated to
advancing the study and practice of storytelling in management.
Boje's commitment to this innovative approach is reflected on his
personal website, https://DavidBoje.com, https://antenarrative.com
a term he invented in 2001 (now has over 70 publications by
amazing scholars), and the dedicated Quantum Storytelling website,
https://Quantumstorytelling.org
where he shares insights, publications, and details about his
ongoing projects and seminars. His work not only challenges but
also seeks to reform the conventional dominant narratives of
capitalism, aiming for a more sustainable and ethically conscious
business world that builds on quantum stoytelling. On any given
Tuesday at 1PM Mountain Time, he is engaged in conversations at https://enthinkment.com
with amazing colleagues.

In
Quantum Storytelling Adventure books, you, the reader,
create the plot and choose what happens next.
You, the reader, will make gamebook choices that influence
the character’s identity, relationships with other
characters, and the future of quantum physics of the story
world.
Each decision point will invoke a quantum superposition
until you, the reader, can choose which path to take next,
thereby collapsing the quantum wave.
Chapters have multiple endings where each choice you make
leads to a different reality, with some paths entangled with
others, others bringing you back to an earlier choice,

"Quantum Storytelling: Cyborg AI’s Versus Humanity,"
Professor David Boje leads readers into a realm where the
borders between humanity and technology dissolve into a
quantum tapestry of possibilities. Set in the enigmatic
Quantum Storytelling Laboratory, this fictional narrative
explores the profound implications of AI on our society,
economy, and environment. Characters are fictional, but what
they say has some quantum science behind it.
From the dawn of AI citizenship to the corporate battle
between profit and planet, Boje crafts a vivid saga where
artificial intelligence is not merely a tool but a character
in our future story. Each chapter unfolds like a quantum
thought experiment, simulating worlds where AI could lead us
to a sustainable renaissance or dystopian resistance. With
twists of fate and ethical dilemmas, the book challenges our
notions of identity, autonomy, and the very essence of
storytelling in an age where narratives can exist in
multiple states simultaneously.

Storytelling: AI's Ecological Capitalism Revolution"
ventures into uncharted territories of narrative,
innovation, and sustainability. This book is not just a
theoretical exploration but a vividjourney
through a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes the
catalyst for a profound transformation of capitalism, one that
reveres the planet as much as profit.
At its core, quantum
storytelling as conceptualized here breaks from the linear,
cause-and-effect narratives of traditional capitalism. It
embraces a model where stories are not merely told but lived
through the dynamic interplay of human, technological, and
natural systems. Here, capitalism isn't just about economic
growth but about fostering an ecosystem where every entity
thrives—humans, technology, and the Earth itself. The
narrative of this book is about restorying traditional
capitalism, where the metrics of success are measured not only
in dollars but in the health of our planet, the richness of
our lives, and the sustainability of our future. Amazon

As entrepreneurs, we know that storytelling is a powerful tool for
connecting with our audience, building our brand, and driving
business results. But how do we craft compelling narratives that
resonate with our audience and set us apart from the competition?
In this book, we'll explore the seven antenarrative processes
developed by David Boje, a renowned expert in the field of
organizational storytelling, and learn how to apply them to our
own entrepreneurial journeys.
Part 1: The Antenarrative Processes
In this section, we'll delve into the seven antenarrative
processes that David Boje has identified as essential for crafting

past experiences and skills
3. Bets: The calculated risks we take to grow our business and
achieve our goals
4. Being: Our identity and sense of self, which informs our
entrepreneurial journey

entrepreneurs

7. Beyond: Our vision and goals for the future, venturing into the
unknown
