    Abstract:
    Dual-process theories of persuasion discuss how fictional information can lead to attitude change. With this background in mind, how does Erich von Däniken present his ancient astronaut speculation in his novels and short stories? And what other media does he use to offer his message? This article describes Däniken's multimedia approach to convince his audience of the "ancient aliens" mythology.
