- Technoliberalism and the End of Participatory Culture in the US involved seven years of fieldwork with television and internet video companies around the world, and in particular in Hollywood and Silicon Valley. It involved 100s of interviews, 1000s of hours of participant observation, and the production of television documentaries for broadcast in the US, UK, Italy, and Ireland. The book is both synchronic and diachronic, focusing on the critical temporality of internet and video convergence as it was occurring in 2005-2012, and investigating the history of citizen video activism which recedes back into the 1960s at least.
