Elvis Live at Five Summary
|
Elvis Live at Five is a riveting drama about the people -- and in this case, a dead rock idol -- behind the news. The novel takes place at a television station that accidentally finds itself on the cutting edge of information technology -- and what a dangerous place that turns out to be! Nick Upton, news manager of KVGO-TV in Dallas, thought the newsroom was a jungle before his ruthless new boss took over. Then a computer geek shows Nick how to boost the ratings: let a technologically advanced virtual Elvis have his own show. Soon Elvis lives again for millions of viewers. But who controls Elvis? And are those people at all interested in truth in broadcasting? To what lengths will they go to keep those profits rolling in? As Nick Upton fights for what he believes in, not only is his own life threatened, but so is the future of the truth as we know it. Twenty-five years ago Paddy Chayesfsky gave us a searing behind-the-scenes look at commercial television with his blockbuster hit, Network. Now with Elvis Live at Five, John Paxson brings us up-to-date. Scathing, funny, and frighteningly close to the bone, Elvis Live at Five is a brave preview of a whole new world. |
