nAcclaimed Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz reveals the untold story of online influence and the real social history that weve already forgotten of the internet--and how it has reshaped our world. nFor over a decade, Taylor Lorenz has helped us understand internet culture, showing how its inextricable from our daily lives. Her reporting is serious yet entertaining--and illuminating about ourselves and the lives we increasingly create online. In her debut book, Extremely Online, she uncovers how these internet moments are rarely the result of founders, Silicon Valley geniuses, or marketers. Instead, the sweeping trends of culture both online and off have been shaped by average people. n nExtremely Online is a satisfying, enlightening journey through the brief but packed years of the digital age, through the experiences of the people--the content creators, the bloggers, the everyday users--who made it what it is. By tracing our socialization online over the last two decades--how weve shared information, consumed content, and built connections--Lorenz presents the authoritative social and cultural history of the internet age. n nLorenz takes a forensic look at how social platforms and power users have dismantled legacy systems, giving rise to a decentralized power that allows access to many more people. She documents how moms at home who started blogging were among the first to monetize their personal brands online; how bored teens who began posting videos reinvented fame as we know it; and how young creators on TikTok are leveraging opportunities to opt out of the traditional career pipeline. Its the peoples recent history of the internet, one we need to know so that we can help set the course for the future. n nThis uprising on the internet continually changes--it is by us and for us, and it is ours to decide what we want it to be. Extremely Online is the inside, untold story of what we have done to the internet, we are the ones creating--and recreating--it daily. We have the power to shape its future.n
