I really enjoyed this book. The first chapters are fast paced and easy to read. There are many names, but google is your friend so you can keep up. I really loved how feminine the style of writing was, how every time they introduced a person, they would describe them really romantically. I'd say it's a good introduction to the people behind the BPP.

Kill All Normies: Online Culture Wars from 4chan and Tumblr to Trump and the Alt-Right by Angela Nagle

2.5

I felt that the book gave more time and energy on analyzing 4chan and redit issues/ personalities than it did for tumblr and the "left" side of the internet. And when it did, it discussed how the "right" reacted to issues of the "left". I don't think Nagle did much research when explaining the "left" side and at times it almost felt like she was mocking the ideologies.
