Description
'Fifteen years ago, the internet felt like a special place my friends and I had built for each other; by 2020, we were standing on its ruins, wondering if we'd played a part in its destruction.'Journalist Marie Le Conte was born in 1991, the same year the World Wide Web was invented.
She had her first blog at twelve, a successful music website at fifteen, a Wikipedia page at seventeen and now, at thirty, over 80,000 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. 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?
A place we are all now desperately trying to escape from?Escape is a fascinating exploration of the rise and demise of the internet.
It's a look back on the platforms, the people and the online places.
It's an analysis of the lessons being online has taught us, how the internet has changed us - and a celebration of the tools it gives us to feel less alone.
The online generation have forever altered the world we live in, but is the internet still a place for the people that shaped it?
