I think the scope of this book was too broad, but I liked it. While not a new favorite, this book made me realise I like nonfiction books about the internet and the history of the internet. So now, I have a new section in my library that I can go and explore.
A good blast through the history of influencer culture on the internet, from early blogs to TikTok hype houses. I just feel like anyone could have written this, you know? It's a couple of steps up a really well-written Wikipedia article. Taylor Lorenz is a fantastic writer and her voice was largely wasted on this dry-ass content.
