This is a fascinating but mind-boggling read.
It fascinates me to learn how other people from this odd decade (1985-95) experienced the internet. But it boggles my mind as it is very far from my experience.
I am only 5 months younger than Marie and I grew up in a home that had a separate phone-line for the internet before I was 7-year-old but I was never as 'online' as she was.
I'm left yearning to chat to Marie about so many of the topics raised by this book. This sensation might not have been so strong if I hadn't first encountered her on a political podcast and will be seeing her live in 5 days' time. Or if I didn't have most of my friends through online spaces.
