About This Audiobook

In 'Under the Influence' by Jo Piazza, the author takes us on a thought-provoking journey into the world of social media, where influencers and aspirational marketing reign supreme. What starts as a personal exploration of her own daughter's exposure to these platforms quickly morphs into a scathing critique of the societal pressures and expectations that come with them. Through her sharp insight and engaging storytelling, Piazza sheds light on the often-overlooked consequences of our social media obsession.

Piazza's writing is engaging and conversational, making this audiobook feel more like a discussion with a friend than a dry academic treatise. The narrator's performance perfectly captures the author's tone, adding to the book's sense of intimacy and urgency. What sets 'Under the Influence' apart from other social media exposés is its unique perspective as a mother, bringing a deeply personal and relatable angle to the conversation.

Editor's Review

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook editor, I was struck by the power and emotion that Jo Piazza injects into every page of 'Under the Influence'. Her writing is both deeply personal and universally relatable, making this book feel like a necessary guide for anyone navigating the complexities of social media. The narrator's performance is top-notch, perfectly capturing Piazza's tone and adding to the overall sense of urgency and importance. One of the things that impressed me most about 'Under the Influence' was the way Piazza weaves together personal anecdotes, academic research, and industry insights to create a comprehensive and compelling narrative. At times, the pacing can feel a bit uneven, with some sections feeling more like a list of facts than a cohesive story. Additionally, some listeners may find the author's tone to be overly critical, which can feel alienating at times. However, these minor quibbles are far outweighed by the book's many strengths, making 'Under the Influence' a must-listen for anyone interested in the world of social media.
