The Chaos of Now
Description:
Is it real if it happens online?
Life at Eli's high school hasn't been the same since his classmate Jordan committed suicide after being tirelessly bullied. Schools now have access to students' online activities and students have less privacy than ever. Eli just wants to graduate--so he can get out of town, get away from his father's embarrassingly young fiancée, and get himself a prestigious coding job. But Eli's hacking skills get him roped into a vigilante website that--while subverting the school's cybersnoops-- seeks justice for Jordan and everyone else being bullied.Suddenly Eli finds himself in way over his head as his keystrokes start to have devastating consequences in the real world. This timely story from the author of Butter is a thrilling tale about the power of the internet, the young people who wield it, and the fine lines between bully and victim, justice and vengeance.
