Books That Take Place on the Internet
Books where a decent chunk of the story occurs online or heavily involves social media. Including both books from a character's perspective and where the story is told via emails, DMs or blog posts. Suggestions welcome!

I think Coldwire by Chloe Gong may fit, the characters live in a virtual reality world that they have to join
Hmm, I'm wondering if virtual reality might be better as it's own list since it's a little different thematically. I can suggest some if you want to make one :)
love this! penance doesnât take place on the internet, but the internet does form a large part of the story, and parts of the story are told through tumblr posts, dms, and online fanfiction!
Ooh true, I think it counts!
