Description:
Do you occasionally wonder,
- What kind of person works at a porn video store?
- Do public defenders believe in their clients?
- What does a reporter feel when he visits war-torn Iraq?
- What happens after a child star falls into obscurity?
Thanks to Web logs, or "blogs" as they're affectionately nicknamed by Net-savvy voyeurs, anyone can jump into the shoes of a video salesclerk, a criminal court lawyer, an international journalist, or a TV star, among others.
While entertaining and educating, these virtual diaries represent a cross section of the people who dwell online. This book features the Internet's most provocative writing, by unknown writers and underground celebrities.
Neil Forrester, former cast member of MTV’s The Real World, gives new meaning to the phrase "Bite your tongue." Meanwhile, Star Trek:The Next Generation actor, Wil Wheaton, gives his take on the Hollywood system and fleeting stardom.
Elsewhere, web designer Heather Hamilton finds herself unemployed after
postin on-the-job stories to her personal blog. And humorist Choire Sicha shares
advice about broken hearts and timeshares. Plus: tales of creepy video-store
customers, office pranks gone awry, a childhood encounter with Darth Vader, and
so much more!

描述:
偶爾你是否會想知道:
- 在色情影片店工作的人是什麼樣的人?
- 公共辯護律師是否相信他們的客戶?
- 記者參觀戰亂的伊拉克時有何感受?
- 童星墮落後會發生什麼?
感謝網誌(或被網絡愛好者親切稱為“博客”)的出現,任何人都可以體驗成為影片售貨員、刑事法庭律師、國際記者或電視明星等角色。
這些虛擬日記既有娛樂性又具有教育意義,代表了在線世界中各種人的樣貌。本書收錄了網絡上最具爭議性的寫作,作者既有不知名的寫手,也有地下名人。
前MTV真人秀《真實世界》的成員Neil Forrester重新詮釋了“咬舌頭”的意義。與此同時,《星際迷航:下一代》的演員Wil Wheaton對好萊塢體系和短暫的明星生涯發表了自己的看法。
此外,網頁設計師Heather Hamilton因在個人博客上發表工作中的故事而失業。幽默作家Choire Sicha分享了關於破碎的心和共同擁有的建議。還有:關於令人毛骨悚然的影片店顧客、辦公室惡作劇失控、童年與達斯·維達的邂逅等等。
