11 posts | 9 read | 24 to read
Catch up with the show-stopping, critically acclaimed new Vertigo series from creators Rob Williams (MARTIAN MANHUNTER, THE ROYALS: MASTERS OF WAR) and Michael Dowling (DEATH SENTENCE). A dying social media mogul leaves his billions to be split evenly between 140 random people-or however many of them are still alive at the moment of his death. This sharp, thrilling look at life in the digital age assembles a cast that includes a young black man trying to get by in St. Louis, an Iranian reporter in need of hope, a retired special forces soldier with a strange sense of purpose, and a thrill-seeking heiress-and shows us that were all still part of the food chain. Collects UNFOLLOW #1-6.

Can someone at @litsy @LitsyTips explain to me why I'm seeing posts from people I am not following? Yes, I've turned off the "See features posts" option, because I don't want to see them. I thought we were supposed to get a pure feed and no funny business. This is not fun!

hermyknee Oh weird! 5y
Lcsmcat Do you follow @PostsAboutYourBooks ? That will bring you posts from people you don‘t follow if they post about books you have posted about or stacked. 5y
Leftcoastzen I‘m with @Lcmscat if you clicked on @PostsAboutYourBooks you will get people you don‘t follow as long as you have book mentions about books you have in common. 5y

tournevis @Lcsmcat @Leftcoastzen Got it! Thanks, that's good to know. 5y
tournevis @hermyknee Turns out it was my fault. 5y
hermyknee @tournevis ooooh I see. Okay. So it looks like it can be any book stacked including those on your TBR - which for me is tough I have so many books in my TBR I can‘t even remember what they are 🤣 5y
Crazeedi This is good to know! 5y
Crazeedi Why I've had posts from people I dont follow!! 5y
tournevis @hermyknee AFAIK yes. I had not realized that's what would happen when I clicked. I had not expected so many, so often and from new peeps. 5y
tournevis @Crazeedi Yup! The more you know! I now know. 5y
rockpools @Lcsmcat @Leftcoastzen Thank you! I‘d worked out this was something I‘d clicked on, but couldn‘t remember what. And yes @tournevis - it‘s the too many, too often that wasn‘t working for me too. 5y
tournevis @RachelO It was getting annoying. Some of of these posts were from rather suspiscious accounts too. 5y
twohectobooks Yep, I followed @PostsAboutYourBooks for about half a day and then it was already way too much. 5y
tournevis @twohectobooks I hear you! 5y

I felt like more could have been done with this story. I've read similar books to this so it isn't as original, I wish they would have done more with the social platform aspect. I think I'll read the next one before I bail on it.

Unfollow, rather a contrast to my happily begging chooks. These are Pretty Mama and the Rocky Girls. #outside #riotgrams #chickensoflitsy

#riotgrams day ten is #comics ... So I'll show you Unfollow, which I just took out of the library today. I haven't started it yet. Anyone here read it?

Marchpane No, but that blurb is intriguing! 8y
Leniverse Never heard of it, but I too am intrigued. 8y
MarriedtoMrT I really liked it! Apparently, though, it's a bit of a ripoff of the Japanese novel Battle Royale but I hadn't read it or seen the movie so that didn't detract from my enjoyment. 8y
Lauredhel @MarriedtoMrT cool, thanks! 8y

A social experiment psycho-thriller, this one is twisted yet so good. A dying billionaire decides to leave the world by showing the truth of humanity -- is it ultimately good or evil? -- but there is more at play when his right-hand man seems to have taken a dive from the reality train and God and the devil (the dragon) may be meddling as well.

It's compared to lots of books I haven't read (Battle Royale, Ready Player One.) #LitsyAtoZ

398.2 Sounds good! 8y

This one was a mind-f*ck in the best possible way. Taking overnight to process but it is a definite pick. Also, I guess I really do need to finally read Ready Player One since multiple reviews compare Unfollow to it.

Loved this new Vertigo comic! 140 people chosen "randomly" from social media get to inherit $130m each, but more...if the others die. Battle Royal meets Social Network. Lots of characters and evil henchmen. I'll have to wait until Dec 2016 for vol.2. Bummer this one's addictive!

Imagine if Mark Zuckerberg gave away all his money ($18b) to 140 random Facebook users. But if one of those users die, the rest get their redistributed funds. Hmmm remind you of battle royale? Just a wee bit.

Chelsey Oh dear 8y
kgriffith A bit Ready Player One, too. 8y

Great concept - Battle Royale for the social media age - but the book gets off to a worryingly slow start, and some of its character work early on feels sloppy. Still, a promising beginning, if incomplete.
