challenging dark emotional informative inspiring medium-paced

4.75

 I'm going to be thinking about this book for a long while. Lavin documents the various ways in which white supremacy has become a global movement online and the ways in which tech companies such as YouTube and Twitter are complicit in that. She follows the history of white supremacy, tangled with antisemitism, and how it is fed by misogyny, homophobia, and a deep-seeded racial hatred towards anyone who isn't a very specific kind of white person. I felt a deep respect for Lavin's willingness to go undercover and submerge herself in the rampant abuse in order to show everyone what this culture is and why it's so dangerous to ignore it and allow it to grow.
