For the sibling who should touch grass. Is it time for someone you love to log off? Give them a hint this holiday season with some of our favorite books about the internet. Featuring memoirs about Silicon Valley (Anna Weiner's Uncanny Valley), novels about internet fame (Natasha Stagg's Surveys), experimental fiction about losing time online (Patricia Lockwood's No One Is Talking About This), and many more staff picks, described below: Does it help to have loved One Direction while reading Everything I Need I Get from You? Yes. Is it required? No. Using the fandom she was deeply invested in, Kaitlyn Tiffany tracks the history and origins of the internet (sexism and all) for personal use to remind us that while we frequently ridicule teenage girls as "basic" and "silly", they are so often at the forefront of our culture, leading us into new societal spaces and teaching us entirely new languages.— Rayna If you're going to read one 'internet novel' per year (there are plenty to choose from), Allie Rowbottom's enchanting new novel should be your pick. Aesthetica reads like Elena Ferrante meets Cat Marnell, as smart and wise as it is buzzy and juicy. Rowbottom has somehow crafted a book that is cringeworthy, strange, and downright sad, while also being one of the most resonant and satisfying books released this year.--Peter A debut novel irrefutably of its time and far ahead of it simultaneously. Told over the course of a single morning, Jordan Castro’s The Novelist follows a writer who must overcome the confines of the algorithm in a world obsessed with itself and the instant gratification of perpetual scrolling. Tao Lin sums it up in one word: "Succulent." No doubt.--Riley
