'Marie Le Conte is one of the most compelling thinkers we have on the internet age and what it's doing to us. She's truly lived it, and her scars are memorably and fascinatingly described in Escape.' -- WILL STORR 'A great dissection of how the internet fundamentally messed up the generations.' -- MOLLIE GOODFELLOW 'A sharply intelligent, funny and necessary look at how the internet is affecting us all. Whether you're extremely online or hate Twitter (or both), this is a fascinating read.' -- STEVIE MARTIN 'Marie Le Conte is the voice of the generation. Escape is exposing, enthralling and deeply personal reading for all of us who grew up online. Capturing the joy and pain of teenage angst against the freedom and horror of the World Wide Web, this book is urgent reading for anyone trying to understand their own past, and the internet's future.' -- FERN RIDDELL 'An enjoyable book that hits on an interesting question.' * Financial Times * 'A thoughtful book' * New Scientist *
