Facebook launched February 4th, 2004 and is celebrating it's 10th birthday. Without Facebook it would take soooo long to share information about our vacations, accomplishments and cats, not to mention the fact that we would have surely missed these fine novels.Notes from the Internet Apocalypse
by Wayne Gladstone (M)
"When the Internet suddenly stops working, society reels from the loss of
flowing data and streaming entertainment. Addicts wander the streets
talking to themselves in 140 characters or forcing cats to perform
tricks for their amusement, while the truly desperate pin their requests
for casual encounters on public bulletin boards. The economy tumbles
and the government passes the draconian NET Recovery Act." publisher420 Characters: stories
by Lou Beach (M)
"Alternately surreal, funny, ominous, and lyrical, Lou Beach’s 420 Characters
offers an experience as dazzling as any in contemporary fiction.
Revealing worlds of meaning in single paragraphs, these crystalline
miniature stories that began as Facebook status updates mark a new turn
in an acclaimed artist and illustrator’s career." publisherPredator
by Terri Blackstock (M)
"The murder of Krista Carmichael's fourteen-year-old sister by an online
predator has shaken her faith and made her question God's justice and
protection. Desperate to find the killer, she creates More...an online
persona to bait the predator. But when the stalker turns his sights on
her, will Krista be able to control the outcome? Ryan Adkins started the
social network GrapeVyne in his college dorm and has grown it into a
billion-dollar corporation. But he never expected it to become a
stalking ground for online Predators." publisherSave as Draft: a novel
by Cavanaugh Lee (M)
"A love triangle evolving over e-mails, texts, and
Facebook messages that makes you wonder if the things we leave
unsaid--or rather unsent--could change the story of our lives." back cover
