Battle of the Books: Extremely Online vs You Are What You Watch

​Taylor Lorenz, the author of Extremely Online, and Walter Hickey, the author of You Are What You Watch, have two critically acclaimed new books with different arguments. Lorenz’s explains how the internet has democratized media creation so that anyone can have a huge impact on pop culture and be a star, and how we've underestimated that force. Hickey’s explains how we are all so deeply shaped by the movies and television we watch, culturally, psychologically and even physically. What’s the bigger force now— new media or traditional media? Come watch them debate, moderated by Sarah Frier, the author of No Filter, and get your books signed! Drinks and bites will be available.
