Critics Review
This astute debut from Lorenz, a Washington Post technology columnist, traces the tumultuous history of social media from the early 2000s to the present…. Lorenz accomplishes the difficult feat of wrangling a cogent narrative out of the unruliness of social media, while offering smart insight into how platforms affect their users…. It’s a powerful assessment of how logging on has changed the world.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY A national news-breaking machine.
THE INFORMATION The Bob Woodward of the TikTok generation.
TOWN & COUNTRY’S ‘THE NEW CREATIVE VANGUARD’ A peerless authority […] Her name is synonymous with youth culture online. But this characterization amounts to a reductive view of her coverage of the ways in which people of all ages use Internet platforms today. […] Readers scratch their heads in disbelief as Lorenz manages to unearth trend after trend that, despite seemingly infinite scrolling, millennials even 10 years her junior never stumble across.
FORTUNE’S ‘40 UNDER 40’ LIST Lorenz contextualizes the internet as we live it.
ADWEEK’S ‘2020 INFLUENTIALS’ LIST Taylor Lorenz was right all along.
THE SPECTATOR The go-to voice on the internet.
DAZED All the cool kids are pre-ordering Lorenz’s book.
TECHCRUNCH An expansive look at how social platforms have radically altered literally every aspect of our lives.
DAZED A terrific history of the online creator economy.
THE NEW YORK TIMES If you want to understand what is happening on the internet, you start by reading Taylor Lorenz.
BLOOMBERG A vital look at the creator economy […] a fascinating book.
