A look inside the TV show that watches you back.

In a house designed for manipulation, paranoia and power plays, 16 strangers are cut off from the outside world --- watched every second by cameras, judged by millions.

Welcome to "Big Brother." A show ahead of its time, it was once dismissed as fluff television. Now this voyeuristic reality show has quietly become a cultural juggernaut, capturing the rawest truths of human behavior while building an intense, obsessive fanbase along the way.

But what are the costs of turning human lives into entertainment? What kind of psychological toll does it take to be put in isolation, under constant surveillance, in a perpetual state of suspicion? And what does it say about us as a society that we love to watch it unfold?

BEHIND THE MIRROR: INSIDE THE WORLD OF BIG BROTHER peels back the layers of the historic franchise and dives deep into the game that never sleeps. Through years of live footage, online discourse and controversial castings, this eye-opening book unpacks how "Big Brother" has shaped and exposed societal dynamics around race, gender, identity, power and surveillance. It's the story of a show that thrives in chaos and reveals a reflection of us all --- ambitious, flawed, strategic and deeply human. Whether you're a diehard fan or an unimpressed skeptic, BEHIND THE MIRROR will challenge what you thought you knew about reality TV.

Because if you think "Big Brother" is just a game, you haven't been paying attention.
