This book was written, designed, and hand made by me in 2012. Its purpose was to investigate the then - new, burgeoning "reality tv" genre, its history, its tropes, wether its classification in "low culture" was fair, why people are drawn to it, and its potential long term affect on our culture. The book was designed in process colors for a POP reference, and the cover is made out of plexiglass to reference what lies behind the tv screen. Below are selected pages.
