>Lin has developed a large following on the internet, and has become infamous on 4chan's /lit/ board, where the popular may-may 'Go to bed, Tao' came about as the result of a spurious rumor that Lin was self-promoting lousy prose on the site.[56]. The denizens of /lit/ jokingly refer to Lin as the 'Kafka of the Internet'[57] and humorously refer the author as the 'voice of a generation'. [58]. In tribute to his fans, Tao Lin briefly "had an idea to title it [his latest novel] 4chan"[59], before deciding on Taipei. He has denied claims that he suffers from autism.
