The billionaire predators of Silicon Valley always get what they want. Now someone is giving them what they deserve. "An engrossing murder mystery with strong female characters" - Kirkus Reviews Journalist Lou McCarthy has spent her career exposing powerful predators in Silicon Valley. Her crusade has cost her everything: Her apartment, friends, relationships, and any hope of promotion. And for what? Readers don't care, her boss and workmates pity her, and the billionaire bro-ciopaths she writes about continue to fail upwards. But when two of her highest profile subjects are killed on the same night, their deaths staged as gruesome public suicides, Lou's work is suddenly and violently thrust into the spotlight. Blamed for the deaths, fired from her job, and pursued by vengeful trolls who have already attacked her mother, Lou has only one chance of survival: To find the killer obsessed with her work, and stop them before anyone else dies. Or perhaps not. Because the more Lou discovers about the ingenious killer's past, and their methods, the more she becomes determined to help them succeed.
The Upgrade
The incredible true story of living as a modern-day nomad. Bored, broke and struggling to survive in one of the most expensive cities on earth, Paul Carr realises that it would actually be cheaper to live in a hotel in Manhattan than in his one-bedroom London flat. Inspired by that possibility, he decides to sell most of his possessions, abandon his old life and spend a year living entirely without commitments. Thanks to Paul's highly developed blagging skills, what begins as a one-year experiment soon becomes a permanent lifestyle - a life lived in luxury hotels and mountain-top villas. A life of fast cars, Hollywood actresses and Icelandic rock stars. And, most bizarrely of all, a life that still costs less than surviving on cold pizza in London. Yet, as word of Paul's exploits starts to spread - first online, then through a newspaper column and a book deal - he finds himself forced to up the stakes in order to keep things interesting. With his behaviour spiralling to dangerous levels, he is forced to ask the question: is there such a thing as too much freedom?
The Unofficial Tourists' Guide to Second Life
Imagine a world in which land can be bought for less than a dollar and the only planning restrictions are those of its inhabitants’ imaginations. An online tourist destination where you can spend the morning shopping for virtual designer clothes before heading off to a live virtual gig by Suzanne Vega or Razorlight. And if you’re still not exhausted (or broke) after all that, imagine dancing the night away and perhaps taking a new friend back to your personal spaceship for virtual coffee or… well, you get the idea. Founded in 2003, Second Life’s population recently passed the 2.5 million mark with more arriving every minute, either to live or work, or just to sight-see. The Unofficia...
Nsfwcorp
The story of NSFWCORP is really about a half a dozen separate stories: A journalistic story, a business story, a political story, a media story and a very personal story.The journalistic story alone -- which this book attempts to tell -- spans over 1000 pages in ebook format. For that reason it's probably easier to think of it in two halves:The first half is a series of interviews conducted with NSFWCORP staffers, in which they tell, in their own words, the story of writing and reporting for NSFWCORP.The second half is a collection of long-form investigative features from NSFWCORP's eight print editions and standalone ebooks. These articles have been unavailable, in print or online, since the last magazine rolled off the presses in 2013. They represent, I think, the very best of what NSFWCORP put out into the world.Taken together, the two halves still only scratch the surface of what was a very complicated, but very rewarding, three years spent building The Future of Journalism (With Jokes). The story has a long way still to run.

Extremely Online
"For over a decade, Taylor Lorenz has been the authority on Internet culture, documenting its far-reaching effects on all corners of our lives. Her reporting is serious yet entertaining and illuminates deep truths about ourselves and the lives we create online. In her debut book, Extremely Online, she reveals how online influence came to upend the world, demolishing traditional barriers and creating whole new sectors of the economy. Lorenz shows this phenomenon to be one of the most disruptive changes in modern capitalism.
