But as she ascends to celebrity status, Kathleen's growing obsession with maintaining her popularity online threatens her most important relationship IRL: that with her budding activist daughter, Aggie.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eHilarious and heartfelt, u003ciu003eThe Society of Shameu003c/iu003e is a pitch-perfect romp through politics and the perils of being "extremely online"—without losing your sanity or your true self.
