About this ebook
On the internet, no one knows you're a bug... unless you tell them. But when Gregor undergoes a painful transformation, he needs his friends' help to keep his sanity. Can he deal with his new form without tearing his family apart?
A love story to the internet, the weird and wonderful people who inhabit it, and the ways it helps us survive.
