I recently listened to a “tech” podcast host drone on for 45 minutes about the “Elon vs Zuck” cage match and this piece perfectly captures the frothing, screaming stream-of-conciousness in my brain at the thought of seeing another discussion about Twitter vs Threads/Insta/Face/burning-sh*itpile. I felt some small amount of catharsis just from reading.

I just recently found her Substack and devoured most of the public posts. I haven’t gotten any of her books yet, but she’s on my list the next time I go into a bookstore. Are there any of her other works that you’d recommend?

Ok I’m sold, that’s going to the top of the list.
I enjoyed Deathless!
Thank you for the recommendation!
I first saw her post https://catvalente.substack.com/p/stop-talking-to-each-other-and-start linked from the Cory Doctrow “enshittification” piece. It is very well written and worth a read for anyone who grew up with the old internet.
