Why read it?
1 author picked The Enthusiast as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The protagonist, Kate, works for the Subconscious Agency, an organization that helps drum up enthusiasm for their clients by interacting with super fans on message boards.

From Stephen's list on real-life experience of living and working online.
