The Butterfly Effect by Jon Ronson
3.0
I picked this up for free on Audible and I have to admit I find documentaries and interviews on taboo subjects fascinating. This is a collection of interviews and author thoughts about the porn industry and the way that it developed after the introduction of free online porn streaming. Personally I don't know too much about how the industry evolved other than that it has become easier than ever to access porn online, but I had heard of some of the sites quoted and referenced in this series, and it was interesting to learn that the majority of them are owned by one man.
This series is a short, punchy, 7-part series which is focused on 7 different aspects of the sex industry. There are many people who are interviewed from the girls working in the industry to the man who owns it all all the way down to men who have been affected by it. Seems like there is a huge pool of people who are in some way connected to or affected by porn, and this series gives a brief but fascinating look into some of it.
Overall, I enjoyed this but it was definitely a little too little for me and I felt like it was only scratching the surface slightly and not diving too deep. I would have liked to see a little more into each person's story because I think there so much more that could have been discussed, but as an intro to the topic it worked. 3*s
