99% chance the book reads like someone who knows jack shit about 4chan before it was already taken over by normalfags and misappropriating what normalfag even means.
>written by a woman
Make that 100%

The author has an article that probably goes over the same things here:

I give it a boring/10, could be worse.

I quickly read through it and didn't spot anything offensively retarded. It's well-researched and clearly written by someone who's at least savvy about the subject.

The author doesn't try to be a neutral observer. She clearly has an opinion on the things the book is about and she isn't trying to hide it. I think her opinions are perfectly sensible and well argued, so it didn't bother me, but depending on how far off the deep end you have gone, your mileage may wary. You people will be happy to hear that she shits on "both sides" so to speak.

I do disagree with some points, like this here:

>This book is an attempt to map the online culture wars that formed the political sensibilities of a generation, to understand and to keep an account of the online battles that may otherwise be forgotten but have nevertheless shaped culture and ideas in a profound way from tiny obscure subcultural beginnings to mainstream public and political life in recent years.

I think she's overestimating the role that internet communities have had in shaping "the political sensibilities of a generation". I'd argue the opposite: that it's the culture and the opinions of the users that shape the online communities. It's not the obscure subcultures that have infiltrated mainstream public and political life, it's the other way around. Someone like Trump retweeting a frog meme means nothing. However, I realize that when you're writing a book about something, you want to frame it as important.

If you absolutely insist on wasting time on reading about online culture wars (why though?), it's a decent read. It's not particularly long, so at least it will only take a couple hours to properly go through.

women are normies by default they wouldn't understand

>Along the way left-leaning ‘moral fags’ who had gravitated towards AnonOps IRCs suffered from a degree of state spying and repression during the height of Anonymous’s public profile from around 2010 to 2012.
>This absence of the more libertarian left-leaning element within chan culture created a vacuum in the image boards that the rightist side of the culture was able to fill with their expert style of anti-PC shock humor memes
>created a vacuum in the image boards that the rightist side of the culture was able to fill

Bullshit, trolls just started targeting left-leaning cunts because they gave them the best reactions and were the ones crying the loudest. Their constant calls to censor and shut down things they don't like is also like fuel to the kind of libertarians who lurk imageboards.

I agree that "state spying and repression" is a dumb reason to give for 4chan's political shift to the right, but I don't entirely buy the "apolitical trolls going after the easiest targets" being a valid reason either. If that's the case, why hasn't the political pendulum of 4chan swung back after the internet right became a mainstream position? It's not like the current /pol/ right isn't easy to troll. Also, why was Gamergate so earnest and unironic in their retarded video game activism? There might have been trolls among them, but the vast majority was people who were legitimately upset.

These things take time but you can see it starting to happen already. Give it one more year.
>Also, why was Gamergate so earnest and unironic in their retarded video game activism? There might have been trolls among them, but the vast majority was people who were legitimately upset.
Because it escaped the circles of 4chan towards more mainstream spaces.
I think another major contributing factor is that today the majority of 4chan users did not "grow up" on the website and are way more likely to react seriously to everything posted, including extremely obvious sarcasm and second degree humor.
