I don’t think this book would
Come off very convincing to people new to these concepts. I mostly think a lot of blanket statements get made without direct statistics and data being cited to back up the claim.
I realize that it’s well researched but there are moments where the author mentions research but then doesn’t mention the research or there isn’t a footnote on it. As someone who agrees with all of the sentiments listed, the way in which it’s written and the lack of footnotes feels like a major turnoff-even for me.

One of the best books I've read in a minute. Kai talks about issues that I feel as if are kind of overwritten about at this point. But how she writes about them feels refreshing and invigorating. My only qualm is that I wish it was longer!

As someone interested in representations of sexuality amongst the world wide web, this was definitely interesting to read. It is, of course, outdated in a way that would remove its value from this being an introduction to gender and sexuality amongst the internet to maybe a current college student. I also find this to definitely be a read that is less critical than what I anticipated. I wanted to read more arguments critiques of the internet as a platform for sexual expression that involves an understanding of the internet as a component of capitalism.

3.5 stars if I could choose halves.
