Escape : how a generation shaped, destroyed and survived the internet
Le Conte, Marie2023
Books
Journalist Marie Le Conte was born in 1991, the same year the World Wide Web was invented. She had her first blog at 12, a successful music website at 15, a Wikipedia page at 17 and now, at 29, over 78,000 followers on Twitter. From MSN, Tumblr and MySpace, to chat rooms, forums and blogs; Marie is part of the millennial generation that grew up while the internet was growing up with them. The generation that entered a new reality. The generation that saw it all. The generation who are now witnessing its collapse. Where did it go all wrong? How did the internet go from a place where you went to escape real life to where real life is shaped? A place where you could be yourself and find like-minded people to a world of filters and ads? 'Escape' is a fascinating exploration on the birth and death of the internet.
