You enter the title of a book into the site's search engine and it performs a computer-based analysis of a book's "DNA," or themes.
To show you what this means, we entered the title Memoirs of a Geisha. The image on the right demonstrates how the website evaluates "StoryDNA." This book has strong themes of family connections / childhood relationships, social gatherings, and elements of time. The bar for clothing / fabrics is also high.
Other examples include John Grisham's The Confession, which rates high for criminal investigations and legal affairs. Erik Larson's In the Garden of Beasts featured social discourse, correspondence / letter writing, and parties / events.
