Summary:
"A concise but wide-ranging personal history of the internet from-for the first time-the point of view of the user"--From publisher.
"In a shockingly short amount of time, the internet has bound people around the world together and torn us apart and changed not just the way we communicate but who we are and who we can be. It has created a new, unprecedented cultural space that we are all a part of--even if we don't participate, that is how we participate--but by which we're continually surprised, betrayed, enriched, befuddled. We have churned through platforms and technologies and in turn been churned by them. And yet, the internet is us and always has been. In Lurking,

McNeil
here establishes a singular vision of who we are now, tells the stories of how we became us, and helps us start to figure out what we do now."
