- Charts the revolution in television viewing that is currently underway in living rooms across the world
- Probes how the Internet’s development has altered how television is made and consumed
- Looks at a range of topics and programmes - from voting practices on American Idol to online forums for Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans
- Offers a fresh and innovative perspective that focuses on the shift in audience experience and how it has blurred established boundaries
"Ross's stance is academic, but she also considers the stance of fans, producers, creators and marketers. Together, these voices combine to create a new understanding of the connectedness of all parties in the process of telling stories, both authorised and unauthorised." (Science Fiction Film and Television, July 2010)
"Ross provides a valuable resource on the emerging field of interactive television and its relationship to fandom, viral marketing, tele-participation, and the Internet. The book illustrates how little research has yet been done on the complex relationship between television fans and Web discourse about popular shows." (CHOICE)
