“Streaming Wars” – my second book – is out this week in the UK! It comes out in the US later this month.
In the book, I explore the seismic shifts behind the rise of platforms like Netflix, Disney+, Apple TV+, Spotify, Amazon Prime, Paramount+ and more. From Hollywood’s 2023 strikes to the race for sports rights, the growth of ad-supported tiers and the decline of traditional TV, I reveal how streaming has disrupted not only media economics, but also the power structures that define what gets made and who gets seen. As AI, rebundling and fierce competition drive a new phase in the streaming era, “Streaming Wars” offers a sharp, accessible look at what’s next for companies, creators and audiences alike. This is fast-changing world, and I think this book gives both casual viewers and media professionals a real insight into what is going on.
