We all live online now, but what does that mean in IRL? How do
strange subcultures on reddit affect our local shopping centres,
what do night gyms owe to Twitter, and where can we really go to
get some decent sleep? Our every move online is watched, but can we
see ourselves? In these wide-ranging, witty essays, Roisin Kiberd
offers immersive insight into the strange worlds, habits and people
who have grown up with the internet, and shows the way our world is
changing to fit the online fever-dream. Unsettling, clear-sighted
and perversely fun, she traces the lines between Netflix and nap
hotels, vaporwave music and camgirls, self-optimisation and
insomnia, dating apps and a grand unified theory of Monster Energy
Drinks. As well as holding up the zeitgeist for scrutiny, she turns
an equally frank eye on her own life online, and asks what we have
gained, what we have lost, and what we have given willingly away in
exchange for this connected world.
