Catfishing on CatNet.
Tor. 2019
Do you really know who you’re talking to online?
Because her mom is always on the move, sixteen-year-old Steph hasn’t lived anywhere longer than six months. Her only constant is an online community called CatNet—a social-media site where users upload cat pictures—a site whose admin is CheshireCat, a sentient AI who loves cat pictures. When a threat from Steph’s past catches up to her and ChesireCat’s existence is discovered by outsiders, it’s up to Steph and her friends—both online and IRL—to save them.
A surprising and heartfelt near-future thriller about online privacy and out-of-control technology, and the importance of making connections in an increasingly fragmented society, by award-winning author Naomi Kritzer.
