“Out of the transient and ephemeral effluvia of the internet comes something ivied, revelatory, permanent. Bravo.” —Ken Burns, filmmaker “David Wolinsky has compiled a raw, vital, illuminating, and frequently upsetting oral history of how a medium that excels at escapist fun has transformed into something so woefully unfun.” —Tom Bissell, author of Extra Lives and coauthor of The Disaster Artist “Presents a panoply of voices from leading thinkers discussing how video games and internet culture promote hate and misogyny. It’s impossible to read Wolinsky’s fascinating interviews without becoming aware of how tech is promoting our worst selves and tearing our societies apart. The book is a much needed, wide-ranging conversation that puts to rest once and for all any claims that the Internet is ‘just a tool.’” —Nancy Jo Sales, author of American Girls: Social Media and the Secret Lives of Teenagers
