Over the course of our conversation Bill gives us a synopsis of the book and highlights different factors that have resulted in the current marketplacefor creatives. He includes the new formation of “parasocial relationships” with fans and customers that are a part of selling creative work and acknowledges the death of institutional gatekeepers, which is a double edged sword.
