I Hate the Internet: A novel - Rilegato

Could we have an American Houellebecq? Jarett Kobek might come close, in the fervor of his assault on sacred cows of our own secretly-Victorian era, even if some of his implicit politics may be the exact reverse of the Frenchman's. I just got an early copy of his newest, I Hate The Internet, and devoured it - he's as riotous as Houellebecq, and you don't need a translator, only fireproof gloves for turning the pages (Jonathan Lethem)

This book has soul as well as nerve ... My advice? Log off Twitter for a day. Pick this up instead. (New York Times)

The best novel by a man I've ever read (Caroline Criado-Perez)

This succinct, surprising, infinitely self-knowing book is the Infinite Jest of the Twitter age ... it's vicious. It's a hoot. (The Times)

An anti-novel about why San Francisco, most beautiful of American cities, has become so awful...tremendous fun, inventive, smart (Rob Doyle Irish Times)

A quite thrillingly funny and vicious anatomy of hi-tech culture and the modern world in general ... there are so many brilliant one-liner definitions that it's hard not to keep quoting them ... when a 'bad novel' is this good, who needs a good one? (Steven Poole Guardian)

Extremely funny ... he's fast and furious but his prose also has elegance, rhythm and wit. Bill Hicks would have loved this book (Jane Graham The Big Issue)

Furiously enjoyable (Esquire UK)

Hilariously caustic ... His genius in this relentlessly quotable tirade is to hector you about the shady workings of money and power while making your laugh on every page (Anthony Cummins Metro)

Wildly entertaining ... as an act of sustained indignation, it's inspired - and has the effect of making most other writers seem coy and platitudinous ...he leaves you inspecting the carnage with a grin on your face (Spectator)
