We Are The Nerds is an engrossing look inside the birth and tumultuous life of 📝Reddit—the internet's culture laboratory. Author, Christine Lagorio-Chafkin, explores the enterprise whose army of users have been credited with everything from solving cold case crimes and spurring tens of millions in charitable donations to seeding alt-right fury and landing Trump in the White House.

The book shares the how 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. [1]
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.
