by John Scalzi
First published 2008
John Scalzi's a syndicated columnist whose biting wit has earned him legions of devoted fans - and hordes of furious detractors. "Your Hate Mail Will Be Graded" collects his most polarizing columns, from snarky rebuttals to absurd fan mail. As he navigates the minefields of modern discourse, Scalzi's sharp tongue and unflinching honesty put his critics in their place, one sizzling takedown at a time. Beneath the ruthless quips, though, lies a larger examination of the perils of free speech in the digital age - and the notion that you can't please everyone, no matter how hard you try.
