I nominate Sadie, by Courtney Summers. It is narrated by a radio personality turned podcaster. I just listened to the audio version and it was very well done. YA, fiction, suspense, mystery.
I'd like to nominate Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language which is a book about the internet as we know it and how language has developed because of it.
I'd like to nominate The Premonition: A Pandemic Story by Michael Lewis, written during the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic and explores how news is disseminated, assimilated, and digested, including the safety of both the disseminators and the readers of news and information.
I’d like to nominate The Appeal by Janice Hallett - it’s written in emails and with internet been a form of media.
I'd like to nominate We Are Watching Eliza Bright by A.E. Osworth
In this thrilling story of survival and anger, a woman has her whole life turned upside down after speaking out against workplace hostility–and inadvertently becomes the leader of a cultural movement.
There’s a dark side to social media, and a growing number of mystery suspense novels are exploring it.
I would like to nominate The Circle by Dave Eggers. The social media and internet themes are prominent.
I'll nominate You by Caroline Kepnes. A lot of the plot revolves around easy access to personal information found on social media.

~ Book must be available both as a physical copy and as an ebook.
~ Authors: Please do not nominate your own book.

This thread will be closed by March 26th, and we will choose ten books for the poll. If there are more than ten books nominated, we will choose "seconded" books first. If there is still a tie to get into the top ten, we'll go back to the Goodreads average rating to see which is highest.
