Mr Internet TV: The Ego and The Id

The invention of Internet TV in 1995 by British inventor John Bentley was a pivotal milestone in the evolution of mass communication, linking the age of print, radio and television to today's Internet-based streaming video and democratized social media ecosystem.

From owning Shepperton Movie Studios to video production to pioneering Internet TV, Mr Internet TV: The Ego and the Id is a gripping and candid memoir of a life lived at the cutting edge of the global media revolution.

At the heart of the film, television, and entertainment industries in the US and UK the author moves through an extraordinary world of power and glamour—encountering tech titans, billionaires, royalty, movie stars, and rock legends. These encounters reveal not just fame, but the complex and often surprising personalities behind it. But this is not just a story of success.

Behind the jet-set lifestyle lies a personal journey—of ambition, identity, and reinvention. Through the highs of innovation and influence, the lows of failure, reinvention and fractured relationships, the book explores the hidden emotional cost of an entrepreneurial life with rare honesty.

Both an insider account of the entertainment industry and a psychological exploration of the self, Mr Internet TV is a powerful memoir about what it really means to succeed—and what it costs.
