Description

Reddit hails itself as 'the front page of the Internet.' It's the fourth most-visited website in the United States'yet, millions of Americans have no idea what it is.

We Are the Nerds is a riveting look deep inside this captivating, maddening enterprise'whose army of highly engaged (obsessed?) users have been credited with everything from solving cold case crimes to seeding alt-right fury and helping to land Donald Trump in the White House. We Are the Nerds is a gripping start-up business narrative: the story of how Reddit's founders, Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, rose up from their suburban childhoods to become millionaires and create an icon of the digital age'before seeing the site engulfed in controversies and nearly losing control of it for good.

Based on Christine Lagorio's exclusive access to founders Alexis Ohanian and Steve Huffman, We Are the Nerds is also a compelling exploration of the way we all communicate today'and how we got here. Reddit and its users have become a mirror of the Internet: it has dingy corners, shiny memes, malicious trolls, and a sometimes heart-melting ability to connect people across cultures, oceans, and ideological divides.
