A review by tahlz
I Hate the Internet by Jarett Kobek

4.0


This book is written a very different format/structure - more like an explanation of events, making it a kind of non-novel. I thought I would get tired of it quickly but I actually enjoyed it; this book was pretty funny even thought it touched on real and sensitive topics.
If you're a user of social media and want to know more about how it's affecting the world and the people in it, definitely read this book.
Here are some enjoyable quotes:

"Billionaires were always giving advice to people who weren’t billionaires about how to become billionaires. It was almost always intolerable bullshit."

"Lady Gaga just walked around. She was shitting gold and pissing honey and she wanted to be part of the Art World."

And to summarise the whole book and the world of today - "Nothing says individuality like 500 million consumer electronics built by slaves. Welcome to Hell."
