ABOUT THE BOOK

From online entertainment mogul, actress, and “queen of the geeks” Felicia Day, a funny, quirky, and inspiring memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to Internet-stardom, and embracing her individuality to find success in Hollywood.

The Internet isn’t all cat videos. There’s also Felicia Day—violinist, filmmaker, Internet entrepreneur, compulsive gamer, hoagie specialist, 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.


QUOTES

“Smart, brave, emotionally raw, and hysterically funny. This is one of the best books ever written about what it's like to be a human being on the internet.” —Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians

“I came for the delightful snark, I stayed for the disarming frankness and the hard-won insights about the Internet. Felicia Day uses the Internet to distribute entertainment, but she understands that it's really there to be the nervous system of the twenty-first century.” —Cory Doctorow, Founder of BoingBoing.net

"At last, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) finally reveals the secret origin story of everyone's favorite Geek Superheroine! Felicia Day's new memoir is honest, hopeful, and hysterical. It’s the story of a girl who grew up lost and lonely--then became a self-made Internet rockstar. Reading it will make you feel like you can take on the whole Empire yourself.” —Ernest Cline, New York Times bestselling author of Ready Player One

“Reading Felicia Day’s memoir is like going on a road trip with an old friend you never knew you had. This is the perfect book to prove you aren't the only misfit in the world, and to remind you that that's a very good thing.” —Jenny Lawson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened

“Everything Felicia creates seems to succeed. This book should be no different. It’s a great read–far from ‘horrible’ and worth every ‘Penny’. See what I did there? It’s a play on…never mind.” —Neil Patrick Harris, author of Choose Your Own Autobiography and Felicia’s co-star in Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

“You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is exactly like Felicia herself: intriguing, funny, vulnerable, and uniquely cool. If you’ve ever been awkward, ever doubted yourself, ever second-guessed who you are, this book is for you. Reading it is like having the quirkiest, most hilarious, most brilliant person you’ve ever met grab you by the shirtfront and say, ‘HEY. IT’S OKAY TO BE YOU.’” —Deanna Rayborn, New York Times bestselling and Rita Award-winning author of The Dark Enquiry

"Smart, funny, endearing, nerdy and maybe also a little bit brave—in other words, very much like its author." —John Scalzi, New York Times bestselling and Hugo Award-winning author of Redshirts

“Math nerd defies physics! Felicia Day, who is woven from moonbeams, has written a book that seems lighter than air, but that ends up punching you firmly in the emotions. Felicia lays out a hilarious tale of how her unique upbringing, eclectic skill set, and killer work ethic led to ‘The Guild,’ one of the pioneering works of online creativity. In the process, she pulls you inside her delicate skull, so that the final moving chapters aren’t as much read as they are experienced. An excellent book.” —Jane Espenson, writer for “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “Once Upon a Time,” and “Husbands”

Ah je savais pas pour le livre! (J'avais pas du voir :o )
Après Amber, c'est au tour de Felicia de se mettre à l'écriture? =P
Mais bon, ça sera probablement pas traduit en français là encore j'imagine.. :/ Dommage..

Oui, je ne suis pas sûre qu'une traduction arrive par contre, malheureusement, à moins qu'elle fasse un carton monstre... J'aimerais beaucoup l'acheter personnellement, Felicia est tellement fun et déjantée que je suis curieuse de voir ce que donne son livre.

Il sort d'ailleurs dans trois jours ! Elle continue d'en faire la pub quasi-tous les jours sur son compte Instagram, par des petits messages toujours marrants :
