Man, this book is SO good. It's unlike anything else I have ever read. I don't even want to explain it too much--just (check the content warnings and) read it. Lockwood's prose is incredible, and she lays bare truths about internet culture, society, family, and relationships with razor sharp sentences. This book is weird, wonderful, and an absolutely necessary and biting commentary on Being Online.
