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)
