Click. Stalk. Destroy: Inside the Minds of People Who Stalk Online

Formats & Editions

What happens when thousands of strangers decide you deserve to be destroyed? What happens when your stalker can destroy your life from the safety of their own sofa?

For years, Dr Jessica Taylor was stalked - not by a lone figure lurking outside her home, but by groups of people online. They watched her. They monitored her life. They spread rumours, stole her identity, analysed her posts, contacted everyone she had ever known, and coordinated attacks designed to ruin her life. To end her life.

In Click. Stalk. Destroy., Taylor takes readers inside the disturbing psychology of online stalking, mind-bending trauma, and mob harassment. Drawing on years of research, real cases, and her own terrifying experience, she reveals how the internet has transformed stalking from a crime committed by individuals, into a collective behaviour carried out by groups, families, friends, ex-partners, colleagues at work, internet forums, and anonymous networks.

Combining gripping personal narrative with cutting-edge psychological insight and studies, Click. Stalk. Destroy. exposes the hidden world of digital surveillance, psychological warfare, and online stalkers.
