Christine Lagorio-Chafkin is an award-winning journalist who has covered culture, emerging technologies, and entrepreneurship for the past 15 years. She is senior writer at Inc. magazine and her work has appeared in many other publications, including The New York Times, The San Francisco Chronicle, and the Washington Post.

Reddit hails itself as "the front page of the Internet." It's the third most-visited website in the United States--and yet, millions of Americans have no idea what it is.
We Are the Nerds is an engrossing look deep inside this captivating, maddening enterprise, whose army of obsessed users have been credited with everything from solving cold case crimes and spurring tens of millions of dollars in charitable donations to seeding alt-right fury and landing Donald Trump in the White House. We Are the Nerds is a gripping start-up narrative: the story of how Reddit's founders, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, rose up from their suburban childhoods to become millionaires and create an icon of the digital age--before seeing the site engulfed in controversies and nearly losing control of it for good.
Based on Christine Lagorio-Chafkin's exclusive access to founders Ohanian and Huffman, We Are the Nerds is also a compelling exploration of the way we all communicate today--and how we got here. Reddit and its users have become a mirror of the Internet: it has dingy corners, shiny memes, malicious trolls, and a sometimes heart-melting ability to connect people across cultures, oceans, and ideological divides.
##看了一半,其实更想读到的是媒介批评,reddit和其他互联网产品有何不同,这种不同对人们造成了哪些更深刻的心理和行动上的范式影响?甚至是社会关系?这本书更侧重创业史,当然也是好看的,能感受到智商、运气、团队的力量,一些看似轻飘飘的they did it,其背后是these genius only
评分##一段互联网的秘史。所谓的“人性实验室”,不仅仅在于REDDIT的用户,也在于它的创立者与管理者:YISHAN WONG的不告而别,两位创始人之间的一度反目,Ellen Pao对管理难度的估计不足。读到最后,发现作者偏爱Steve Huffman:他的行为大多有经过思考后的理由。

评分 评分 评分 评分读着这本书,似乎又回到了十多年前。那些熟悉的名字出现在书中,犹如电流通过我的身体。我们是何等幸运,能够走过互联网最早的这些年,并有幸建造了一些或大或小,或精美或粗糙的作品。那时候的世界对我来说是如此简单,正在爆炸的互联网,这就是世界的中心,唯一值得为之奋斗的存在。这本书看前面创办Reddit的故事是最让人激动的,后面漫长的纠葛对美国人来说也许有意思,不过可能华人看起来没感觉。
