Holy Fuck, Katherine. That’s far and away the best understanding and evocation of what the internet was that I’ve ever read. (I got my first modem and dialup account in 1986, which is to say that I’ve read them all.) Having now read this, I don’t think it was possible before; I think we’ve been waiting for someone to have grown up online, to have had that experience at the center of their self, before it could be wrapped into those words. Let us know when we can pre-order the book. I’ll be at the front of the line.

Have read it twice. Have cried twice. I also think the phone in particular holds fairy tale qualities…. Cannot wait to read your book.
