Dot Complicated: Untangling Our Wired Lives

Kinda painful. She starts out sounding like she's got some message, but ultimately it's at least half wordy CV. She comes across as quite pleased with herself without acknowledging privilege.

While she seemingly advocates for tech life balance, she also advocates for people to post more baby pictures so she can feel better about how many she posts. There's some interesting data drops, but despite her resume I'm not convinced she's the expert on the topic I'd want to take advice from. “I just started a production company! Time to post a baby photo!” What?

The only reason I finished reading it is because Goodreads doesn't handle DNF shelving well. She dreams of transparency on the internet, everyone going by real names with the hypothesis this would stop trolling. And oh by the way, I know this meme!
