Book review: Techbitch

DO you know your Bit.ly from your Feedly? Periscope from your Flickr? Ever think you might need to be dragged into the world of apps and technology silently kicking and screaming?

Lucy Sykes and Jo Piazza

Penguin €8.99

Then you’ll have something in common with Imogen Tate, the well-respected editor-in-chief of Glossy magazine who returns from a sabbatical only to find her former assistant, Eve, sitting at her desk.

Fresh out of Harvard Business School, cut-throat and manic, Eve plans to overhaul Glossy, turning it into an app where content is now about tweets, Instagram, and 24-hour instant updates rather than detailed editorial and fact-checking.

Dubbed “the Devil Wears Prada goes digital”, Techbitch is fast-paced, wickedly funny, and has plenty of insider know-ledge about the catty world of magazines, high-end fashion, and front row antics.

This hilarious satire is the perfect beach accompaniment — you won’t want to put it down.
