“Book Descriptions: A tech-savvy troll hiding behind his image as a start-up guru and family-man finds his life thrown into chaos when his online personality seemingly spills over in the real world, attacking and killing those he’d harassed virtually in the past.
With the authorities closing in on him, as a trail of bodies with ties to his online harassment appears across the country from California to Mississippi, Ted Hideman must abandon the protective anonymity of the online sphere and desperately search for answers in the real world. With the unlikely ally of a cybercrimes-focused federal agent who's been trying to nail Hideman for years, the disgraced Silicon Valley wünderkind is brought face-to-face with the living embodiments of the vile, hateful speech he's posted for years.
Following in the tradition of Black Mirror and Barb’s recent sci-fi/horror novelette Helicopter Parenting in the Age of Drone Warfare, JK-LOL highlights the dark side of tech and the connectivity that it offers. It is a story about the ease with which technocratic capitalist society allows monsters to be made and to thrive.”
