>It Came from Something Awful: How a Toxic Troll Army Accidentally Memed Donald Trump into Office
>The internet has transformed the ways we think and act, and by consequence, our politics. The most impactful recent political movements on the far left and right started with massive online collectives of teenagers. Strangely, both movements began on the same website: an anime imageboard called 4chan.org. It Came from Something Awful is the fascinating and bizarre story of sites like 4chan and 8 chan and their profound effect on youth counterculture.

anybody else reading pic related book that just came out? been reading it a little today, i’m about 10% through, and so far I’m impressed. his history of countureculture movements since the 50s is very nice and has a lot of interesting references to literary/philosophical works in his analysis.
