I just wrote a book about the history of 4chan and 8chan and how those places became epicenters for the alt-right, incels, and mass shooters. Somehow I went from creating webcomics online (I used to make one called A Lesson is Learned) to tracking online extremism, but I guess, well, so did a lot of the internet. In light of recent events, I thought it might be helpful to do an AMA on the topic and share what I learned. Feel free to AMA.
