Thanks Adam, super interesting, I’d buy it instantly - but not at a whopping 96 Euros… what’s wrong with publishing that more and more books seem to be produced that nobody can afford in an increasingly precarious academe?

New Book: Technoliberalism and the End of Participatory Culture in the United States
By Adam Fish
Palgrave MacMillan
This new book examines whether television can be used as a tool not just for capitalism, but for democracy. Throughout television’s history, activists have attempted to access it for that very reason. New technologies—cable, satellite, and the internet—provided brief openings for amateur and activist engagement with television. This book elaborates on this history by using ethnographic data to build a new iteration of liberalism, technoliberalism, which sees Silicon Valley technology and the free market of Hollywood end the need for a politics of participation.
Three-part interview with Henry Jenkins, Provost Professor of Communication, Journalism and Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California, about Technoliberalism and the End of Participatory Culture.

Review:
“Adam Fish's ambitious book is at once empirically and theoretically incisive; it charts the rise and fall of 'technoliberalism' as it confronts generation after generation of hopeful new media and their relentless incorporation within capital. It is an essential and creative clarification of the tangle of contemporary technologies, political theories of freedom and equality, and the desires involved in making and consuming media.” (Christopher Kelty, University of California, Los Angeles, USA)
