Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language by Gretchen McCulloch

5.0

Dude, awesome. So good! You don't need to have an interest in linguistics to enjoy this book-- anyone who has used the internet for any amount of time, regardless of how "internet-savvy" they consider themselves, will surely enjoy it. McCulloch puts words to the cultural development that happens online in a way that's witty, aware, and highly entertaining. Definitely worth a read, or at the very least, check out McCulloch's linguistics podcast, co-hosted with Lauren Gawne, "Lingthusiasm".
