When Content Goes Viral

"Going viral." It's a phrase that you hear thrown around whenever something is blowing up on the Internet, but what does it really mean? How does something or someone go from a random post on social media to a household name? What does it mean for the person who posted it? There's the dark side, too: hoaxes, illegal content, and Russian trolls. Readers take a deep dive into the world where fame isn't measured in minutes, but in clicks. This book gives readers the tools to sort the real from the fake, as well as resources to explore.
