Drawing on cultural theory and interviews with fans, cast members,
and producers, this book places the reality TV trend within a
broader social context, tracing its relationship to the development
of a digitally enhanced, surveillance-based interactive economy and
to a savvy mistrust of mediated reality in general. Surveying
several successful reality-TV formats, the book links the
rehabilitation of 'Big Brother' to the increasingly important
economic role played by the work of being watched. The author
enlists critical social theory to examine how the appeal of 'the
real' is deployed as a pervasive but false promise of
democratization.
