PEEP CULTURE

Why are we tripping over ourselves to get on reality television, post intimate secrets online, or drop our drawers for amateur non-profit porn? Peep Culture plunges the lonely and ornery pop culture writer Hal Niedzviecki into reality TV and the online in an effort to understand how human communication, friendship and social connection is changing. Immersed in a world of gastric-by pass bloggers, hipster porn stars and reality television moguls, he wonders if all these new people in his life are really his “friends” – or his “fans”. Peep Culture is an insightful romp into a world where everybody with an internet connection can be a star for at least 3 minutes and where the challenge isn’t to protect your private life - but to figure out how best to capitalize on it.
