About the book
Once upon a time, Charles Doyle was just your average American millennial. At the age of twenty-eight, he was still living in his childhood bedroom and working as a manager at the same fast food chain he had started at in high school. However, everything changed when his father passed away.
After his father's death, Charles began to question the trajectory of his life and decided to explore the potential of social media to reach a wider audience. What started as a simple web series soon transformed into something much more sinister, as Charles became addicted to the validation of his online followers.
As his online persona grew, Charles found himself getting lost in the world of social media, his real identity becoming blurred with his online facade. And before he knew it, Charles had gone from being a nobody in suburbia to a viral sensation to a condemned man sitting on death row.
Told in retrospect, "Going Viral" provides a chilling first-person account of Charles's rapid descent into online infamy, showcasing the dangers of seeking validation and recognition in the digital age.
