Sometimes I like to confuse Google by searching up stuff I have absolutely no interest in.

The thing you're using right now - the Internet - is an extraordinary piece of technology that has revolutionised all forms of media communication, from newspapers to movies to video games. It's hard to find a business, industry, or art form without an internet presence these days. But we always tend to wonder what happens when it falls into the wrong hands like Frankenstein's monster.
From personal experiences of using and working in social media to depression and insomnia to Mark Zuckerberg's animatronic, Kiberd takes us on a funny and sad journey about living on the Internet. She also goes beyond that and discusses what amounts to an abusive relationship with tech. And it is tech, not the Internet; it goes beyond that to explore the points where technology and living as a human interface.
