While the 40 essays collected here continue to highlight Sunflowers passion in generating new connections between seemingly irrelevant ideas views techniques and genres they also include a series of discussions and debates on various unique Internet phenomena including blog therapy Web 2.0 Human Flesh Search and the notorous grass mud horse in China just to name a few. Her interests on the emerging trend of digital publishing and reading are also evident.Throughout Blog Therapy Sunflower is of the view that one of the most important functions of the Internet is to help promote democractic values. While everyone should have a voice and a channnel through which such voice can be heard they also have unlmited access not only to other peoples views but also to means by which they can freely respond to these views. Looking back at this today it is amazing how the Internet has evolved since 2010.
