Who would say what during wartime? What would Jesus tweet? And how would history’s most indecent of scandals have played out on our computer screens? This hilarious book takes a 140-character romp through history, exploring what it might be like if Twitter had always been part of our lives. From dinosaurs to Princess Diana, the Magna Carta to phone-hacking, including “Famous Last Tweets,” hysterical hashtags, and salacious “Follow Fridays,” here is the story of the world told via 140 characters or less.
