Rolling Stone has an excerpt from Taylor Lorenz’s new book, Extremely Online, all about Julia Allison – who was an online influencer before “influencer” was even a thing — and what she went through both to make it big and then once she did. It’s an important story, and a good read.

Oh, and ICYMI: We also talked about Allison, and lots more, with Taylor on The Vergecast a couple of weeks ago!
