Futuretainment offers a fresh approach to the role of the entertainment industry within the contemporary world of digital media. It looks at how the proliferation of concepts such as MySpace, YouTube, iTunes and Google, to name but a few, have come to dominate over previous channels of marketing and communication. Today, the consumers set the rules, assuming the role of business professionals themselves and thus transforming the entertainment industry. This book will be a business-minded examination of the evolving trends in media, how they will affect businesses and how to plan for a future that revolves increasingly around the demands of the consumer. It will also offer an ‘insight’ at the end of each chapter, which will act as a concise synopsis of the practicalities discussed in that chapter.

This book is amazing- it's like a journey in time, cultures, devices and technology.
Mike Walsh managed to explain modern technology and communications in a medium- book- that considered to be "old world".
Walsh did it intelligently, conveying the message in a great visual way that fires up the imagination and helps understand the given concepts.
I recommend this book- a must to have at any house!

Thank you!

Great format and design innovation. Interesting content. Is an essay as much as an book-objetc of art. A great way to enter Mike Walsh's world, a modern thinker and aesthete.

A really interesting book. I have just re-read it and given that it was published five years ago it is eerily accurate.

If you are in media, advertising or service businesses Futuretainment is absolutely required reading. You better get ready for the ride. If you disagree with Mike's conclusions, you probably should be put out to pasture - this is the future of media, and it's coming fast!

Futuretainment maps the impetus behind changing consumer behavior in a rich, enigmatic and engaging way. The format of Mike's book is great, it is a serious book, but you don't feel like it is a chore to read although the content is bold, provocative and inspirational.

Well done Mike - great read!

3.0 out of 5 stars Buon contenuto con buona organizzazione
Reviewed in Italy on September 22, 2013
Forse avevo aspettative molto alte, visto che ho assistito direttamente ad un intervento di Mike Walsh dal vivo. Ritengo che le informazioni siano ben organizzate e che permettono di dare diversi spunti di riflessione sull'innovazione. Probabilmente, considerando che il titolo è stato creato da un futurista, avrei compreso il formato elettronico tra i formati disponibili del libro.
