But despite being organized by Bond, the focus does not rest exclusively on the hero himself and there is plenty of space dedicated to discussing the costuming of those aforementioned Bond girls, later re-labelled Bond women, his bosses and colleagues, as well as the villains and their inevitable henchmen.

Abstract

Interactivity as performance allows Nash to draw attention to affect and emotion, considering the different forms that interactive documentary engages with embodied performances such as augmented and virtual reality documentary and gaming. Nash acknowledges the fragility of the interactive documentary because of its experimental approach adopting software platforms that are still in development limiting the audience reach, but she remains hopeful throughout the book that the future for the interactive documentary lies ahead, and we have perhaps only scratched the surface. This book shows how interactive documentary appropriates digital technologies in order to find new methods of engaging with realities that often confront contemporary social concerns and the intricacies of truth.
