Reviews
  • 'the book demonstrates well the impotance of the guerrilla television movement's history at this moment.' - Heather Osborne, Screen

Description
  • A book with far-ranging implications for the future of free speech and public discourse in the US.
This is a history of "guerilla television", a form of TV that was part of the larger alternative media tide which swept across the USA in the 1960s. Inspired by the fracturing issues of that decade, as well as the theories and writings of people such as Marshall McLuhan, Tom Wolfe, and Hunter S. Thompson, guerilla television put forth "utopian" programming in an effort to change the structure of information in America.
