Summary

Extremely online reveals how online influence came to upend the world, has demolished traditional barriers and created whole new sectors of the economy. By tracing how the Internet has changed what we want and how we go about getting it, this book unearths how social platforms' power users radically altered our expectations of content, connection, purchasing, and power. From how mums who started blogging were among the first to monetize their personal brands online, bored teens and their selfie videos reinventing fame as we know it, to how TikTok creators and leveraging opportunities to opt out of the traditional career pipeline - this is the real social history of the Internet
