W.G. Williams's 20 Years of Internet Humor is a delightful anthology that combines a myriad of jokes, anecdotes, and humorous sketches collected over two decades of internet exchanges. The book's charm lies in its nostalgia, echoing the days when email chains and bulletin board posts were the lifeblood of online banter. Williams compiles these pieces with a light touch, ensuring a breezy read that’s both entertaining and reminiscent. The book's structure is straightforward and reader-friendly. Each entry briefly introduces a new piece of humor, ranging from workplace gaffes to family life ironies. This allows readers to dip in and out of the book, making it a perfect companion for moments needing levity or a quick escape from the daily grind.
What truly stands out in this collection is the historical perspective it offers on humor. It captures the zeitgeist of late 20th and early 21st-century internet culture when humor was less about memes and viral videos and more about shared stories and witty observations that could be easily forwarded in an email. Williams maintains an inclusive and lighthearted tone, never veering into the more divisive or cynical humor that can characterize online discourse today. His selections celebrate the quirks of daily life and the universal mishaps that we all can relate to, making them widely appealing. W.G. Williams's 20 Years of Internet Humor will make you laugh and transport you to a simpler time in internet history, filled with shared digital camaraderie. Williams shows how humor has shaped online communities and sustained personal connections across digital spaces. A book you won't want to miss!
