Journalist and author Kaitlyn Tiffany shares her new book Everything I Need I Get From You: How Fangirls Created the Internet as We Know It with host Vass Bednar and discusses how fangirls, in their ingenuity and collaboration, created the social internet we know today.

In Everything I Need I Get from You, Kaitlyn Tiffany, a staff writer at The Atlantic and a superfan herself, guides us through the online world of fans, stans, and boybands. With humour, empathy, and an insider’s eye, Kaitlyn Tiffany reclaims internet history for young women, establishing fandom not as the territory of hysterical girls but as an incubator for digital innovation, art, and community.

This event is part of our On Civil Society series.

Generously supported in part by Chris M. Reid
