How do you reply to your colleague's weird email? What might Debrett’s say about your Tinder profile? And just how do you know if you're mansplaining?

In this irreverent journey through the murky world of digital etiquette, WIRED's Victoria Turk provides an indispensable guide to minding our manners in a brave new online world.

The digital revolution has put us all within a few clicks, taps and swipes of each other. But familiarity can breed contempt, and whilst we’re more likely than ever to fall in love online, we’re also more likely to fall headfirst into a blazing row with a stranger. Google’s unofficial motto is Don’t Be Evil, but sometimes that’s easier said than done. If you've ever encountered the surreal battlefields of digital life and wondered why we don't all just go analogue, this is the book for you.


Digital Etiquette: Everything You Wanted to Know about Modern Manners But Were Afraid to Ask Reviews


  • Laura Ghitoi

    Funny, to the point and touching the most important netiquette topics (including many pop culture and British references), this is a great guide for most of the questions your relatives are asking you about the Internet. Its only pitfall is that the topic requires constant updates, so the book may become obsolete or a digital history artefact in few years.

  • Angel Serrano

    Con mucha gracia y una buena dosis de ironía, la autora navega por las reglas de la buena educación al entorno digital con abundantes ejemplos de lo que es y no es comportamiento aceptable en las comunicaciones digitales y social media en el trabajo, el amor y la amistad.

  • Sterling

    Turk provides helpful guidance for email and social media etiquette. Though much of her reasoning behind recommendations seems sound, I would have valued a bit more ties to research substantiating her writing.

  • Christian

    Great witty book, covers most digital topics that effect us on a day to day basis.

    Would highly recommend for a light read!

    I was not the intended audience for this book

  • Nagy Lilla

    Pure Cringe filled with generalisation stuck in the early 2000s
