What
Acaster shows us how social media can become negative. Being addicting, poor for our health and deteriorating personalities, he chooses to self impose a mission to rid his life of SM and sets out to achieve everything he’s missing IRL.
As we go along we realise how little other people care and what he’s missing out on really isn’t significant when comparing to real life.
How
The book dives into insane hypotheticals w fantastic pop culture references to express how ridiculous some of the things we get away with online truely are. Stalking, bullying, wasting time etc.
I expected more of a biography type of situation clearly explaining how everything was truthfully problematic. Because of my expectation I was originally frustrated but became pleasantly impressed with the lengths to convey the true unimportance of SM with irreverence.
True
Yes, stalking, anonymous bullying, and a lack of time spent developing a personality are lost to SM immersion.
Although its benefits were not exactly highlighted. in small doses for few, long distance couples, travelling workers and holidaymakers all trying to easily stay in touch w family and keeping relationships alive.
Best bits
“Turns out cancelling only works if the person getting cancelled accepts it. If they choose to ignore it and can’t carry on as normal. There’s absolutely nothing other people can do about it.”
“Don’t imagine they’re naked. Imagine they’re dead and none of it matters”
