"Lost", created by wunderkind J.J. Abrams and aired on the US ABC
network and Sky in the UK, began in 2004 and will end after its
sixth season in 2010, hopefully with the answers to myriad
questions. This book not only offers a rich understanding of the
multi-media phenomenon that is "Lost", but is also a valuable
demonstration of how the contemporary American television industry
works. "Lost" is perfectly designed to serve the new multi-channel,
'multi-plaform' mediascape.Its cinematic visuals and complex
narrative place it above the competition, its international cast
and ostensibly worldwide locations (actually Hawaii's Oahu island)
give it global distribution. "Lost" continues to fascinate - and
mystify (that polar bear, that four-toed statue) - today's
technologically savvy 'forensic fandom', whose members mobilise
i-Pods and cell phones to watch episodes and revel in the
complexities of 'The Lost Experience'. These and many more issues
involving "Lost's" production, distribution, narrative, and
audiences are addressed by this essential book.
