Boom to Bust
How Streaming Broke Hollywood Writers
Book •
Boom to Bust examines how streaming platforms reshaped Hollywood’s economic and labor landscape, concentrating power with corporate platforms while eroding writers’ wages and working conditions.

They document how technological and business-model changes produced new forms of exploitation and precarity for creative workers.
The book situates the writers’ struggles within broader transformations of media ownership, distribution, and labor relations.
It offers both historical context and contemporary analysis of the industry's labor conflicts and potential paths forward for collective action.
