Crash Override by Zoë Quinn

readingpicnic's review against another edition

4.5

I'm glad I got to hear about GamerGate from their point of view instead of only hearing about them as a victim of the movement. It was also nice that they actually provided advice on how to deal with and combat online hate, advocated for helping victims of abuse even if they were once abusers, and spoke to how getting off the internet is not a good solution for people for whom the internet is the only place they can find community and be open about their identities. It feels like other books about online hate don't offer real solutions and ways to navigate it, so it was refreshing to be more educated on what people can actually do. I didn't know anything about their victim advocacy group Crash Override, so I am glad I now know about it now.
