"Beyond 2.0...is a substantial accomplishment for making so much sense so soon. In a Music Business curriculum the book will be most appropriate for advanced undergraduates and graduate students." --Paul Fischer, Middle Tennessee State University, Journal of World Popular Music 4.1 (2017) "...Beyond 2.0: The Future of Music covers important ground in accessible ways; the exposition is always lucid and well-supported with references to appropriate literature. There is much to learn from an engagement with the work." --Michael Jones, Popular Music 36.1 (2017) "[The] book is a valuable contribution that works as a systematic, in-depth, historically informed, multi-perspective analysis of the music industries as network in the digital era." --Emilia Barna, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music Vol. 5, No.2 (2015)
