Along the way we meet girls who damage their lungs from screaming too loud, fans rallying together to manipulate chart numbers using complex digital subversion, and an underworld of inside jokes and shared memories surrounding band members' allergies, internet typos, and hairstyles. In the process, Tiffany makes a convincing, and often moving, argument that fangirls, in their ingenuity and collaboration, created the social internet we know today. \"Before most people were using the internet for anything,\" Tiffany writes, \"fans were using it for everything.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith humor, empathy, and an insider's eye, \u003ci\u003eEverything I Need I Get from You\u003c\/i\u003e reclaims internet history for young women, establishing fandom not as the territory of hysterical girls but as an incubator for digital innovation, art, and community. From alarming, fandom-splitting conspiracy theories about secret love and fake children, to the interplays between high and low culture and capitalism, Tiffany's book is a riotous chronicle of the movement that changed the internet forever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kaitlyn Tiffany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MCD X Fsg Originals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 4.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374539184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/14\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2022","brand":"Kaitlyn Tiffany","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45753394168036,"sku":"9780374539184","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/9587\/8628\/files\/img_1728108e-17a2-4e18-9390-333061649add.jpg?v=1730434164","url":"https:\/\/bookandmortar.com\/products\/everything-i-need-i-get-from-you-how-fangirls-created-the-internet-as-we-know-it-kaitlyn-tiffany-paperback","provider":"BookandMortar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
