Extremely Online: The Untold Story of Fame, Influence, and Power on the Internet by Taylor Lorenz is a fascinating social history of the Internet, from an acclaimed Washington Post reporter. Lorenz shows how the Internet has changed social dynamics, created new sectors of the economy, and upended traditional business models; in short, how it profoundly altered our lives. Extremely Online explores all facets of this change and how it came about, from moms with blogs who created the idea of a personal brand to how teens with TikTok accounts rewired the concept of fame. Lorenz talks about both the pitfalls and opportunities presented by the Internet and the idea of being “extremely online” and writes with a serious but entertaining style. (Non-Fiction)
