How Sex Changed the Internet and the Internet Changed Sex by Samantha Cole

informative medium-paced

4.5

This book was obviously very well researched and incredibly in-depth. I enjoyed how it was structured starting with the beginning of internet history, while still delving into specific topics. The history around JenniCam, live-streaming, and the continued technological improvements was fascinating in particular. The inclusion and length on FOSTA SESTA is so timely and necessary when talking about freedom of speech and the safety of sex workers. Cole’s narration throughout was incredibly empathetic to sex workers, people who’ve experienced sexual abuse, and people online in general. I highly recommend this book to anyone who spends time online.
