Choose your own adventure

You're defending Netflix in a trademark lawsuit. Do you: (a) try to settle the whole thing quickly? Or (b) go for the nuclear option? Also: 7 other things worth a click.

Favor to ask. If you like Understandably, would you let a couple of friends know about it, and encourage them to sign up? The best signup referrals come from people who already enjoy it. Thanks!

If you’re between say, 30 and 50, then chances are good that when you were a kid, you read some of Edward Packard’s books.

If you don’t recognize his name, how about the series? "Choose Your Own Adventure," where the reader assumes the role of the protagonist, makes decisions, and affects the ending.

It's funny. My brothers and I read tons of these books when we were kids. Then, I completely forgot about them until two years ago, when Netflix started streaming an interactive show called "Black Mirror: Bandersnatch."

This was basically a choose-your-own-adventure style movie, about a programmer in the 1980s trying to create a video game that was in turn based on a choose-your-own adventure book.

The viewer controlled the plot points.

I found the whole thing entertaining. I also found it interesting…
