All right, hello. How are you? Welcome to The Other People Show. My name's Brad Listy, and I'm in Los Angeles. I am delighted to have Roshin Khyberd as my guest today.

Roshin Khybert has a book out on Serpent's Tale.

It is called The Disconnect, a personal journey through the Internet.

Roshin is from Ireland. She's an Irish writer, an essayist and a journalist whose work tends to focus on technology and culture. She has been published widely in places like the Dublin Review,

the Stinging Fly, the Guardian, the outline, UK, and Motherboard, where she wrote a column about Internet subcultures.

The Disconnect is an essay collection about Life Online.

It's her first book.

It was published back in March, and I'm so glad we had the

chance to talk. Rochene Khyber lives in Dublin and that is where she was when we spoke. She was in a

tower like an old like, you know, you're going to hear us talk about it, but she was in a tower

in Dublin on the coast.

I think she was on the coast.

Anyway, she was in a tower.

I've never spoken to somebody on this podcast who was in a tower.

This is the first time, as far as I know.

Today's episode is brought to you by the feminist press, publisher of Margaret and the

Mystery of the Missing Body, the new novel by Megan Milks.

Margaret and the mystery of the missing body reimagines 90s adolescence, mashing up

girl group series, choose your own adventures, and Chronicles of Anorexia,

in a queer and trans coming-of-age tale like no other.

This is an interrogation of girlhood and nostalgia, dysmorphia, and dysphoria.

It is a debut novel that puzzles through the weird, ever-evasive questions of growing up.
