Liveness for decades has been a distinguishing feature of mass media, but on what terms will it survive in the era of social media? In this important book, Karin Van Es dissects the circuit of forces which underpin liveness , acknowledging the changing role of media institutions and media users alike. Sharply perceptive and historically well-grounded, Van Es book is a landmark in our understanding of how media are socially constructed. Nick Couldry, London School of Economics and Political Science Karin Van Es has made a key contribution to the study of liveness. She takes the topic beyond its original focus on broadcast television and live performance in the era of recording technologies, and explores it in relation to the internet and social media. The Future of Live is a fascinating and thought-provoking addition to a question of growing interest and importance. Strongly recommended! Paddy Scannell, University of Michigan
