Stream Big by Nathan Grayson is a well researched and very interesting look at Twitch and the people who have made it a staple for watching, streaming and gaming. From the beginning of the streaming giant to the modern day, Grayson interviews streamers, higherups at Twitch and insiders of the tech industry to give a nuanced and in depth look at the site that revolutionized streaming!!
Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for this complementary ARC in exchange for my honest review!
This book is a detailed summary of the history of Twitch - similar to other books that have chronicled Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc. The author goes through the early days of Twitch with high hopes up to the current times after their purchase by Amazon. Each of the nine chapters focuses on a different Twitch creator and tells a small piece of Twitch history along the way.
I found the book to be a good read - describing both the good and the bad of Twitch through its history and I recommend it to anyone who likes reading about the history of recent technology companies.
