"Manusia takkan pernah mau mengakui bahwa mereka makhluk yang egois. Kita bicara tanpa henti tentang moral dan keadilan, tapi begitu kita terancam kehilangan apa yang kita miliki, kita kembali pada kemampuan untuk bertahan hidup. Itu manusiawi. Yang lebih parah, kita suka mencari-cari alasan, kita bahkan tidak cukup berani untuk mengakui tindakan egois kita sendiri. Dengan kata lain, kemunafikan"

Buku ini menceritakan sebuah kasus bunuh diri seorang siswi karena INTERNET. Buku ini bisa menjadi contoh sejahat apa manusia dibalik akun anonimnya, dampak yang sangat besar dari sebuah 'HATE COMMENT'. 

Tidak hanya alur ceritanya yang menarik tapi beberapa detail yang diceritakan seperti "apa itu teknologi" dan pandangan psikologis seorang manusia "kenapa manusia bisa menjadi seperti itu? Kenapa manusia melakukan itu?" menjadi daya tarik dari buku ini. Serta banyaknya plot twist yang ada pada buku ini.

Note: Untuk pembaca yang memiliki mental issue mungkin buku ini akan menjadi bacaan yang cukup berat di beberapa babnya
