Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language
Science
Linguist Gretchen McCulloch examines how the internet is reshaping language in real time — emoji, memes, punctuation as tone, and the evolution of online English. Van Rossum, who has a longstanding interest in language (linguistic and computational alike), publicly praised both the book and its interactive cover design on Twitter.
