About the Book

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Streampunks by Robert Kyncl and Maany Peyvan, read by Stephen Graybill. Across the planet, humans spend more of their free time watching video than doing anything else. But increasingly it’s not TV they're watching, but online video. In 2016, Swedish vlogger PewDiePie made a record $15 million from his YouTube videos, beating Hollywood A-listers like Harrison Ford, Julia Roberts and Amy Adams. Something massive is shifting in the world of entertainment. Since its founding in 2005, YouTube has become the first and only truly global media platform, with over a billion users worldwide. It has changed the media industry as profoundly as the development of radio, film and television. In Streampunks, YouTube’s Chief Business Officer Robert Kyncl gets to the heart of this creative revolution through behind-the-scenes stories of its biggest stars – YouTubers like Tyler Oakley, Lilly Singh, and Casey Neistat—and the dealmakers brokering the future of media, like Scooter Braun, who scouted 12-year old Justin Bieber on YouTube, and Vice media mogul Shane Smith who used the platform to turn young people onto news and current affairs. By giving anyone with a smartphone their own TV channel, YouTube is fuelling a new creative boom. Not only is it generating the new faces of entertainment, but also changing how students are taught, how social issues are discussed and how small businesses advertise and develop. Streampunks is the definitive book on the modern pop-culture juggernaut Youtube, the platform remaking the face of entertainment. ‘Robert’s vision is clear and compelling: the future of media will be one in which fans decide what matters.’ - Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix ‘Thinking of starting your own new media career? Read Streampunks first. It's a revealing, thoughtful portrait of what success in the digital age really takes.’ - Michelle Phan, YouTuber and author of MAKE UP

Review :
Robert’s vision is clear and compelling: the future of media will be one in which fans decide what matters Thinking of starting your own new media career? Read Streampunks first. It's a revealing, thoughtful portrait of what success in the digital age really takes If you want to understand how media is changing, you need to understand YouTube. Streampunks is a fascinating look into the imaginative and determined minds of the people who are changing what we watch Discovering YouTube was the happiest accident of my life. It’s allowed me to share my comedy with the world and reach an entirely new global audience. Fans have even told me they’ve learned English from watching my show on YouTube—which is a mistake I grew up in Cuba without access to the Internet. When I finally came to the United States, YouTube became my window to the world. Streampunks is an amazing description of experiences similar to mine A fascinating look into the imaginative and determined minds of the people who are changing what we watch
