"On the Web, marketers leverage this kind of information to better target their ads. Perhaps alternative rock fans could receive ads for nonfiction books written by liberal authors, while country music fans could receive ad for books by conservative authors." Schwartz, Webonomics (1997)

This 1972 SF novel is set in a future in which #TootCat users are among the few survivors of a global calamity created by the "Demons" -- descendants of today's Republicans.
(I first read this as a tiny sometime in the mid-70s, borrowed from the Durham County Library downtown (when it was in this building iirc), only acquiring a copy for myself relatively recently -- which is to say sometime after 1985 or so. [straightface])
Anyway, I'm reading it to @Harena as a bedtime story.

“Magazine” by @jeffjarvis is the fascinating story of the origin, rise, fall, and possible future of the magazine industry, as told by a magazine super fan who started Entertainment Weekly.

I recommend the 3.5 hour audio version read by the author. It’s included in US-based Spotify subscriptions.
