Indeed, author Kobek lays biting waste to the affectedness of “it” people, modern day PR, and social media sites like Twitter, Snapchat, and Facebook.The book was filled with at times incoherent and too lengthy rants and, yet, inside the narratives of pretty much unrelatable characters, whom I struggled to like, I felt a sense of their existential despair that roto rooters far deeper than the common refrain of “What’s it all about, Alfie?”The book opened up a stream of thought that maybe we lay people are being made fools of by the likes of the media Gods. He is a tell all author with no remorse!After reading the book, I now look at the internet and social media with a more skeptical eye! I now question is the ‘everywhereness’ of God, which is one person's version of the internet, is actually ruinous, nihilistic, and insidiously destructive. Indeed for author Kobek, nothing is sacrosanct!His is a book that serves up caustic derisiveness of the impact of social media along with a big dose of existential despair that maybe nothing really does matter after all! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Funny, biting but too lazy to worry about structure *by K***1 on Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2016* Some of Kobek's writing is absolutely hilarious, and wickedly, darkly cynical about new media and all its attendant problems. Still, I had the feeling while reading that it was really a stand-up routine of periodic side-slapping humor, punctuated with long, rambling, redundant, uninteresting stretches of nonsense. A little more narrative glue would have helped, and perhaps he'll come around to that in the future. And it's not only a rant about social media and "the internet," but Kobek seems to be taking on the literary novel structure (and business of novel writing including writing a good novel) itself, with a kind of lame chapter 25, that describes what would have been in that chapter if the chapter was there. But it is there, so, well, I guess that sort of works as modern rebellion against the constraints of tradition. Sort of. Again, very biting and insightful take on the effect of new media channels on modern life, but he could have been much more successful with a touch more structure that would have required less of his readers and more from him. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I Hate the Internet shows San Francisco in mid-reinvention as Ground ... *by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2018* I Hate the Internet shows San Francisco in mid-reinvention as Ground Zero for the digital revolution. With withering attacks on everything from the ethics of social media to a hilariously mean synopsis of Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, this slice of urban life shines a light on the hypocrisy of the age.The fact that the author goes out of his way to put a dollar amount to the sum total of cash that Jack Kirby's work has earned for some one else at the box office is amazing. And this was pre-Black Panther.Recommended for anyone who wants to view social media with a skeptical eye. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/25295013-i-hate-the-internet](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/25295013-i-hate-the-internet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
