Not just anyone can join the most elite Tori Amos tape trading webring of 1998. In a world before "search" and "social media," teenage Megan Milks has what it takes, negotiating two-to-one trades of rare concert audio with some of the most intense "ears with feet" in the Toriverse, using their living room computer to navigate fandom friendships haunted with nascent queer meaning. In this new volume of Remember the Internet, Milks leads us through a world of bootleg concert recording on DATs and to awkward in-person USEnet meetups, a world still inventing the rules for being with one another online: bring references, bring blanks.

Megan Milks is the author of MARGARET AND THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING BODY and SLUG AND OTHER STORIES, both forthcoming from Feminist Press.
