   From online entertainment pioneer, actress, and “queen of the geeks”   
   Felicia   
   Day, You’re Never Weird on the Internet (Almost) is a funny, quirky, and   
   inspiring memoir about her unusual upbringing, her rise to internet stardom,   
   and embracing her weirdness to find her place in the world.   
      
   When Felicia Day was a girl, all she wanted was to connect with other kids   
   (desperately). Growing up in the Deep South, where she was “home-schooled   
   for hippie reasons,” she looked online to find her tribe. The internet was   
   in its infancy and she became an early adopter at every stage of its   
   growth—finding joy and unlikely friendships in the emerging digital world.   
   Her relative isolation meant that she could pursue passions like gaming,   
   calculus, and 1930’s detective novels without shame. Because she had no idea   
   how “uncool” she really was.   
      
   But if it hadn’t been for her strange background—the awkwardness continued   
   when she started college at sixteen, with Mom driving her to campus every   
   day—she might never have had the naive confidence to forge her own path.   
   Like when she graduated as valedictorian with a math degree and then headed   
   to Hollywood to pursue a career in acting despite having zero contacts. Or   
   when she tired of being typecast as the crazy cat-lady secretary and decided   
   to create her own web series before people in show business understood that   
   online video could be more than just cats chasing laser pointers.   
      
   Felicia’s rags-to-riches rise to internet fame launched her career as one of   
   the most influential creators in new media. Now Felicia’s world is filled   
   with creativity, video games, and a dash of feminist activism—just like her   
   memoir.   
      
   Showcasing Felicia’s hilarious and unique voice, You’re Never Weird on the   
   Internet (Almost) is proof that everyone should celebrate what makes them   
   different and be brave enough to share it with the world, because anything   
   is possible now—even for a digital misfit.  Foreword by Joss Whedon.
