NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A one-woman media phenomenon and a leading YouTube influencer takes readers behind the camera, and deep inside her world.
Justine Ezarik has been tech-obsessed since unboxing her family’s first Apple computer. By sixth grade she had built her first website. A decade later, she became one of the Internet’s first—and most popular—“lifecasters,” inviting people around the world to watch her every move, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. But it was a one-minute video about an itemized AT&T bill that gave Justine her first taste of viral success: Within ten days of release, her “300-page iPhone bill” had garnered more than 3 million views and international media attention. These days, iJustine is a one-woman new media phenomenon: The popular techie, gamer, vlogger, and digital influencer has an army of nearly 3.5 million subscribers across multiple YouTube channels, with total views approaching half a billion.
Now, Justine is giving friends and fans a look behind the scenes, sharing never-before-told stories about the hilarious (and sometimes heartbreaking) reality of sharing your life online. With her trademark wit and delightfully weird sense of humor, Justine delivers an inspirational message in support of creativity, entrepreneurship, and the power of staying true to yourself, while reminding readers that the Internet is a very small world—you just never know who you’re going to meet.

Best book ever
good backstory on iJ
If you've only started watching iJ vids recently, there is an impression of vast wealth and the carefree tech life that can go along with it. But the book provides the origin story, and it is quite inspiring. The book reads as if iJ is talking on her vids, which is nice. One cool thing is that she seems to be a rare techie / reviewer who is not jaded or cynical most of the time, and it is good to get a dose of enthusiasm in the sea of cynicism out there. The book seemed to come in for a quick Scully-esque landing tho. As if the publisher said, oookkkkaaaayyy wrap it up, time to go to press! Well, will look forward to volume 2 one day. Be sure to take note of the SXSW musician and a.d.clay anecdotes, hysterical!
