Event Details

Booksmith is excited to welcome game designer and author Zoe Quinn to the store for her part-memoir, part-manifesto Crash Override: How Gamergate (Nearly) Destroyed My Life and How We Can Win the Fight Against Online Hate. Join them.

From trolling, to cyberbullying, to fake news, and threats, online abuse can and does happen to anyone. It’s designed to get someone to hide out of fear and it can be devastating.

Instead of disappearing, Zoë fought back. She started Crash Override Network, a crisis hotline and advocacy group and after years of working with the biggest names in tech, law, media, and online security, as well as thousands of targets of online abuse, she’s now armed with a wealth of knowledge. Crash Override is part fierce, funny memoir, part bold manifesto, and part field guide for combating online harassment and making the internet a safer place for everyone.
