The Internet isn't all cat videos. There's also Felicia Day - violinist, filmmaker, Internet entrepreneur, compulsive gamer and former lonely homeschooled girl who overcame her isolated childhood to become the ruler of a new world . . . or at least semi-influential in the world of Internet geeks and Goodreads book clubs.
After growing up in the south where she was 'homeschooled for hippie reasons', Felicia moved to Hollywood to pursue her dream of becoming an actress and was immediately typecast as a crazy cat-lady secretary. But Felicia's misadventures in Hollywood led her to produce her own web series, own her own production company and become an Internet star.
Felicia's short-ish life and her rags-to-riches rise to Internet fame launched her career as one of the most influential creators in new media. Now, Felicia's strange world is filled with thoughts on creativity, video games, and a dash of mild feminist activism - just like her memoir.
Hilarious and inspirational, You're Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is proof that everyone should embrace what makes them different and be brave enough to share it with the world, because anything is possible now - even for a digital misfit.
Es curioso. En vez de leerme la biografía de una estrella internetera porque soy fan de sus series y su canal, lo he hecho porque leí de refilón en algún sitio que es violinista y matemática (con un gpa de 4.0 en la carrera, que tenía un double major en violín y matemáticas, ahí es nada). Ahora supongo que tendré que verme un capítulo de the guild o algo. Lectura entretenida sobre la vida y milagros de una actriz adicta a los videojuegos y escolarizada en casa que no triunfó en LA pero se fabricó su nicho en Youtube. La protagonista está encantada de conocerse pero se le tolera.
