Christine Lagorio-Chafkin is an award-winning journalist who has covered culture, emerging technologies, and entrepreneurship for the past 15 years.

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.
##一段互聯網的秘史。所謂的“人性實驗室”,不僅僅在於REDDIT的用戶,也在於它的創立者與管理者:YISHAN WONG的不告而彆,兩位創始人之間的一度反目,Ellen Pao對管理難度的估計不足。讀到最後,發現作者偏愛Steve Huffman:他的行為大多有經過思考後的理由。
評分##最像豆瓣無疑
評分 評分 評分##看瞭一半,其實更想讀到的是媒介批評,reddit和其他互聯網産品有何不同,這種不同對人們造成瞭哪些更深刻的心理和行動上的範式影響?甚至是社會關係?這本書更側重創業史,當然也是好看的,能感受到智商、運氣、團隊的力量,一些看似輕飄飄的they did it,其背後是these genius only
