    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 I was in the mood for a tidy plate of onion grill with crusty bread. I was at war with a robot version of myself. The spambot left me feeling powerless and sullied. My identity had been redefined all wrong by strangers.

    #2 I had a conversation with three men who claimed to be academics from reputable universities, and they said they were trying to protect my identity by saying I was a robot. I was annoyed because it was not me tweeting, it was me being myself.

    #3 I was so excited to see the comments on my YouTube video, which mocked the academics for their comments about me eating wasabi dumplings. It felt wonderful to be victorious, and I was proud of the other recent social media shamings I’d enjoyed.

    #4 When powerful people transgress, we are there to respond. When the media mocks a food bank for giving out food parcels without running ID checks, Twitter donations rise to the charity by the end of the day.
