What are some good books about weird Internet shit?

I read Nagle's Kill All Normies a while back, and it was almost great, but ultimately unsatisfying. It was like the author was afraid to cop to how much of an Internet addicted defective she really is, so she slapped a fake layer of sociological detachment on the whole thing.

boy those crazy 4channers sure hate BIPOCS. Couldn't be me :marseysweating:

On the other hand, I'm currently reading The Disconnect: A Personal Journey Through the Internet by an Irish woman who makes no pretense of being a functional human being.

All she does is pound energy drinks, waste her life on fringe Internet sites, moon over her ex that won't love her but keeps emailing her, bang studs off Tinder and work out obsessively at 4am when the gym is empty and she won't have to see other humans.

:#marseyme:

The book is lifefuel for terminally online girlies. But there's foreshadowing that she's going to try to off herself, so I guess it was suifuel for her to live it.

But what are other books in this genre? What else can I read about the Internet in lieu of touching grass?

Also, what should I title my inevitable book about rdrama?

A Confederacy of Dunces: the deuxrama story?

Malevolent, cruel, coldhearted: an Internet love story

!metashit: the book

lmao bussy: queering the queer community

Turboautismo

Trainspotting 2: all the tragedy, but none of the cool heroin.

!bookworms help me out

I haven't read the Chris chan book and probably never will, but the whole phenomenon is interesting enough

Oh no....

Sigh

Chris chan is an internet neurodivergent credited with being the first and probably most documented lolcow on the Internet.

There was a book released recently that summarizes his entire life and compares him to Andy Warhol through a post modernist "what is pop culture" lense.
