"From its launch in 1972, HBO has been the home of epic shows, as well as the source for brilliant new movies, news-making documentaries, and controversial sports journalism. By thinking big, trashing tired formulas, and killing off clichés long past their primes, HBO led the way to a bolder world of content, opening the door to all that was new, original, and worthy of our attention. With extraordinary access to the most important voices, over the course of more than 750 interviews with key sources, Miller captures the drama and the comedy off-camera and inside boardrooms. As HBO created and mobilized a daring new content universe, it reshaped storytelling and upended our entertainment lives forever." -- adapted from jacket.
