About this product
Product Information
The instant New York Times bestseller from "queen of the geeks" Felicia Day, You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is a "relentlessly funny and surprisingly inspirational" ( Forbes ) memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to internet stardom, and embracing her weirdness to find her place in the world. When Felicia Day was a girl, all she wanted was to connect with other kids (desperately). Growing up in the Deep South, where she was "home-schooled for hippie reasons," she looked online to find her tribe. The Internet was in its infancy and she became an early adopter at every stage of its growth--finding joy and unlikely friendships in the emerging digital world. Her relative isolation meant that she could pursue passions like gaming, calculus, and 1930's detective novels without shame. Because she had no idea how "uncool" she really was. But if it hadn't been for her strange background--the awkwardness continued when she started college at sixteen, with Mom driving her to campus every day--she might never have had the na ve confidence to forge her own path. Like when she graduated as valedictorian with a math degree and then headed to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting despite having zero contacts. Or when she tired of being typecast as the crazy cat-lady secretary and decided to create her own web series before people in show business understood that online video could be more than just cats chasing laser pointers. Felicia's rags-to-riches rise to Internet fame launched her career as one of the most influen-tial creators in new media. Ever candid, she opens up about the rough patches along the way, recounting battles with writer's block, a full-blown gaming addiction, severe anxiety, and depression--and how she reinvented herself when overachieving became overwhelming. Showcasing Felicia's "engaging and often hilarious voice" ( USA TODAY ), You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is proof that everyone should celebrate what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world, because anything is possible now--even for a digital misfit.

You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is exactly like Felicia herself: intriguing, funny, vulnerable, and uniquely cool. If you've ever been awkward, ever doubted yourself, ever second-guessed who you are, this book is for you. Reading it is like having the quirkiest, most hilarious, most brilliant person you've ever met grab you by the shirtfront and say, 'HEY. IT'S OKAY TO BE YOU.', An illuminating, frank look at the commercial realities, injustices and insecurities that everyone trying to earn a living online must confront. . . . Day's unflinching look at the traps she fell into as a 'success' are a welcome addition to the canon of 'how I made it' stories, and a reminder that we live our own blooper reels and experience other people's highlight reels. . . . It's a must-read., Day's writing is warm and charming. Fans of her work will gobble this up, but anyone who has ever despaired of finding their passions would benefit from a read as well., I came for the delightful snark, I stayed for the disarming frankness and the hard-won insights about the Internet -- Felicia Day uses the Internet to distribute entertainment, but she understands that it's really there to be the nervous system of the twenty-first century., Smart, brave, emotionally raw, and hysterically funny. This is one of the best books ever written about what it's like to be a human being on the Internet., Whether you nerd out on video games, makeup, or musical theater, you'll find it an entertaining source of personal inspiration., Everything Felicia creates seems to succeed. This book should be no different. It's a great read--far from 'horrible' and worth every 'Penny.' See what I did there? It's a play on . . . never mind., [An] inspirational comic memoir . . . to set alongside Tina Fey's Bossypants , Amy Poehler's Yes Please , Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? , Lena Dunham's Not That Kind of Girl and Sarah Silverman's The Bedwetter . Young people of both sexes and every gender should find much to empower them. (Older people, too, for that matter.), Quirky, uplifting and full of stories about embracing your inner nerd. Day has proven herself to be as talented in front of the camera as she is behind it. It's evident that she's a brilliant businesswoman whose avatar has secured a residence in digital media past, present and future., Reading Felicia Day's memoir is like going on a road trip with an old friend you never knew you had. This is the perfect book to prove you aren't the only misfit in the world, and to remind you that that's a very good thing., Relentlessly funny and surprisingly inspirational to anyone who grew up a geek and continually doubts themselves to this day. That's a pretty wide audience, if I had to guess. . . . Day's fans will obviously like the memoir, but it has more than niche appeal. It's not meant to be a self-help book, but I found that's the effect it had on me all the same., Throughout the entire book, Day offers up all kinds of amazing life advice that will truly impact others, especially young girls, women, those who don't feel accepted, and those who are struggling in life., Smart, funny, endearing, nerdy, and maybe also a little bit brave--in other words, very much like its author., Felicia Day gives us an achingly funny, honest, open look at being 'situationally famous,' (I love that phrase), plus the vital art of finding your creative joy, and weathering the storms that follow. It's a wonderful book. Buy it before I grab all the copies., Math nerd defies physics! Felicia Day, who is woven from moonbeams, has written a book that seems lighter than air, but that ends up punching you firmly in the emotions. Felicia lays out a hilarious tale of how her unique upbringing, eclectic skill set, and killer work ethic led to The Guild , one of the pioneering works of online creativity. In the process, she pulls you inside her delicate skull, so that the final moving chapters aren't as much read as they are experienced. An excellent book., Day writes charmingly. . . . [She] is delightfully good company and has an interesting story to tell., At last, You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) reveals the secret origin story of everyone's favorite geek super heroine! Felicia Day's memoir is honest, hopeful, and hysterical. It's the story of a girl who grew up lost and lonely--then became a self-made internet rock star. Reading it will make you feel like you can take on the whole Empire yourself.
