Join us at the NYU Game Center for a talk & Q&A with Nathan Grayson in discussion about his new book Stream Big: The Triumphs & Turmoils of Twitch & the Stars Behind the Screen
About the book:
Told through the diverse & fascinating careers of nine streamers, this is the definitive story of Twitch & how the livestream platform revolutionized technology, entertainment, business, & pop culture.
With 2.5 million viewers at any given moment, the streaming platform Twitch is in the lead & often well beyond mainstream networks like CNN & Fox during primetime. On Twitch, the Amazon-owned tech behemoth, the biggest personalities, like Kai Cenat, Flix xQc Lengyel, & Hasan HasanAbi Piker, can earn millions per year by firing up their internet connection & going live.
Veteran technology & gaming journalist Nathan Grayson takes us inside the triumphs & tribulations of Twitch with exclusive access to its biggest content creators who helped make the platform into a billion-dollar global business. From Twitch's early days of rapid growth to acquisition by Amazon to the defection of creators & rival platforms, Grayson makes the radical argument that many social technology companies are far more dependent on their creators than the creators are on their platforms.
Rivetingly told through nine exceptional Twitch creators whose on-screen personalities helped the company grow into a powerhouse, this is the explosive story of when entertainment meets the internet in the era of social & video content domination.
