If Andy Warhol could have anticipated the Internet, he would have said
it's where everyone will be stalked for at least 15 minutes. Notorious
underground author Jim Goad describes himself as "a lowly neutrino in
the vast universe of celebrity," yet he attracts a certain breed of
demented fan that treats him as if he's the second coming of Christ -
that is, until they feel he's somehow snubbed them, at which point he
transforms into Satan. The Headache Factory documents Jim's extensive
experiences fending off fans who morphed into stalkers. By turns
terrifying and amusing, the book demonstrates how social media enables
the antisocial to reach out and touch anyone they want - even if their
target doesn't want to be touched.
