Summary: Thank you so much for the excerpt.
Review: I was tempted to buy just because of the catchy title. I'm glad that Amazon provided the excerpt. This would have been a great dissapointment. You get more information on interactive TV from reading the newspaper.

Summary: Funny, Lots of Info
Review: TV Dot Com is a funny, info-packed book about the future of television and the history of television. The book traces the origins of today's TV features, such as the VCR, and takes the reader by the hand to the present and into the future. It's very insightful and fun to read. The author often uses humor to make his point and although there are only 128 pages, there is more info here than most 328 page books.The coolest part of the book is the Predictions sections. At the end of each chapter, the author offers 10 or so predictions on that topic. I agree with most of his predictions. And I can hardly wait for them to start. One of the most interesting forecasts is that the Video on Demand will replace the local video store.All in all, this is the best book about the television and the culture I have ever read. I would recommend it to anyone.
