One of Esquire’s Best Books to Elevate Your Reading List in 2020, , and a OneZero Best Tech Book of 2020. Named one of the 100 Notable books of 2020 by the End of the World Review.

A concise but wide-ranging personal history of the internet from—for the first time—the point of view of the user

In a shockingly short amount of time, the internet has bound people around the world together and torn us apart and changed not just the way we communicate but who we are and who we can be. It has created a new, unprecedented cultural space that we are all a part of—even if we don’t participate, that is how we participate—but by which we’re continually surprised, betrayed, enriched, befuddled. We have churned through platforms and technologies and in turn been churned by them. And yet, the internet is us and always has been.

In Lurking, Joanne McNeil digs deep and identifies the primary (if sometimes contradictory) concerns of people online: searching, safety, privacy, identity, community, anonymity, and visibility. She charts what it is that brought people online and what keeps us here even as the social equations of digital life—what we’re made to trade, knowingly or otherwise, for the benefits of the internet—have shifted radically beneath us. It is a story we are accustomed to hearing as tales of entrepreneurs and visionaries and dynamic and powerful corporations, but there is a more profound, intimate story that hasn’t yet been told.

Long one of the most incisive, ferociously intelligent, and widely respected cultural critics online, McNeil here establishes a singular vision of who we are now, tells the stories of how we became us, and helps us start to figure out what we do now.

Yummy pigs ear
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
These are my dogs "special" treat. These range in size from large to small ears but my dog loves them all the same. Great for heavy chewers.

One-and-done treat for giant breeds (our 186lb foster approves)
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1), Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
We foster a 186lb Saint Bernard, and finding treats that actually satisfy her without requiring half the bag has been a challenge. These pig ears? Game changer. What makes these work: - ONE ear = one satisfied dog (compared to other treats where the bag says “35 per day” and she’d still beg for more) - Keeps her busy for about 5 minutes of focused chewing - She does a little excited dance when she sees the bag—can’t even sit, just wiggles - Zero crumbs or mess because she devours every single bit, then spends the next hour sniffing around hoping another one appears - She immediately grabs it and heads to her favorite bed to settle in—doesn’t move until it’s gone The only “issue”: There’s a bit of oil/greasiness when handling them, but nothing a quick hand wash can’t fix (Mrs. Meyer’s Cucumber soap works great, just saying). Bottom line: If you have a giant breed and you’re tired of buying treats that require multiple servings or disappear in one bite, these are it. One ear, complete satisfaction, Subscribe & Save so they just show up like a present you forgot you ordered. Our girl Ellie gives them 186 pounds of approval.

Size of Ears is Inconsistent
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
A bit disappointing with the size, 1 large pig ear, the rest small and not actual whole pig ears. But Doggo enjoys them. No problems with digestion for him.

Just what the pet parent ordered
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
As a furbaby parent of 2 huskies who are chewers in their first 3 yrs of their life, this product helps a lot. Very healthy, dogs love them, safe, and chewy. Definitely a winner. Love the price for my pockets. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed and your pup will thank you too.

Smell of plastic
Flavor Name: Pig Ears, Size: 12 Count (Pack of 1)
These had a very off-putting smell right out of the bag - each one smelled like plastic, almost as if they’d been sitting in the packaging for too long. My dog wouldn’t touch them at all, which says everything. Would not purchase again.
