I’m Starting to Worry About This Black Box of Doom

Pargin is someone known to many people online but I didn’t know him. This book is a romp of a weird road trip with a mystery box with a cast of characters many of whom are or were part of the army of the Extremely Online. The story itself is told somewhat through Reddit forum posts which I found charming and real-feeling but might not be to others' tastes. A lot of discussion about online factionalism, with a few good jokes in there. The book has one central mystery throughout and a lot of characters who have some pretty serious flaws so it’s tough to figure out who to root for.
