However, instead of becoming an actress, Becca becomes a YouTube star. She must navigate fandom (some good, some toxic), compromises, modern technology, and the idea of pure art versus successful art as everything around her changes due to her sudden fame.Nicole and Dave enlighten Dennis and Johnny about the world of YouTube performance art. Next, they converse about the way cell phone technology became integral to our daily lives, for better or for worse. Finally, they dive into the personalities and motivations for the characters in the book.
