“If you know anything about television, you probably know Alan Wolk.” That’s how Adweek introduces Alan Wolk, the co-founder of TVREV, a leading media analyst firm, and the best-selling author of "Over The Top. How The Internet Is (Slowly But Surely) Changing The Television Industry."

Wolk has established himself as one of the industry's most influential thought leaders, especially noted for his deep understanding of the intersection of streaming and advertising.

For years, I'd been watching tech sites offer up articles about the future of the industry that were factually incorrect and revealed a poor understanding of the business they were trying to dissect.

The book was a response to that: a primer on how the industry really works, an overview on the many changes taking place today and how likely they are to disrupt things, along with my predictions for the future.

Look for a revision in June of 2016 that takes in all the changes that have happened in the past year.(less)

Alan Wolk liked Lewis Ashfield's review of Find Me (Call Me By Your Name, #2):
Find Me by André Aciman
"Didn't even finish it.

What was the point of this book? Cash grab? Riding off the coat tales of the successful predecessor, Call Me By Your Name? Maybe.

Only giving it one star as the cover is nice to look at."

I have enjoyed the "Station" series precisely because it played on moral ambiguity. Russell becomes a double agent to save his family, Effi works in films for Goebbels because that is the only work available, Paul is an enthusiastic Hitler Jügend mem ...more
