Future of Television: Your Guide to Creating TV in the New World

The book€s journey into the future of television begins with €œYou Are Here,€ delving into €œThe Great Convergence€ of television and Internet and the vortex of change we all inhabit now. Then, glancing back, we explore €œThe Old World€ of broadcast television to understand how we got to this moment of transition. Next, traveling €œBetween Worlds,€ we visit cable television and see how the boundaries between network, cable, and Internet are mutating. After that, we enter €œThe New World€ that ranges from empires like Netflix and Amazon down to Kickstarter-funded web series, and all the creative expressions that abound. Finally, we look ahead to the €œFar Frontier€ of interactivity and transmedia and a distant, fantastic future. All these experiences are focused on how a writer, producer, director, or entrepreneur can use the emerging possibilities to create original television now and in the coming decade.
