Ratio
By Stephen Prime
15 years, 500 tweets, 124 likes, 73 followers and 0 fucks. The passing of a shitposting troll whose bridge nobody ever came across and nobody...
“Twitter’s dead. X is embarrassing. I turned 15 years of oversharing and underachieving into a book. Misinformation. Political upheaval. Vague brushes with celebrity. (Bad?) Poetry. 556 tweets, 73 followers. Zero fucks.”
Twitter was a place for chaos, comedy, and connection, where brilliant tweets and terrible ideas fought for the same scraps of attention. For 15 years, Stephen Prime shared sharp observations, self-deprecating humor, and a fair dose of nonsense, only to watch the likes flatline and the platform collapse into X.
Ratio: An eX/Twitter Eulogy for my 73 Followers is a collection of the best tweets you never saw, the stories behind them, and reflections on a life lived both online and off. From quantum mechanics jokes and Arnie anecdotes to gin-soaked slippers and heartfelt chaos, this book is equal parts memoir, comedy, and a farewell to the internet’s wildest party.

Sith Lord entertained during Death Star downtime
The Force is strong with this one. ‘73 Followers’ cuts deeper than a lightsaber—witty, dark, and just chaotic enough to keep a Sith Lord entertained during Death Star downtime. It’s the perfect read for when you need to reflect on your questionable life choices… or plot your next galactic takeover.

Look, I don’t usually read books. But when I do, they better have the raw energy of a gas station meth lab explosion at 3 AM. ‘73 Followers’? It’s like that but with words. Highly recommend—though I lost my library card wrestling an alligator in a Taco Bell parking lot

Hits harder than a skateboard to the face
73 Followers’ hits harder than a skateboard to the face. It’s chaotic, unpredictable, and you’ll laugh at it, cry with it, and question how you ended up here in the first place. Just like we do every single day. Five stars—though we tried to give it six and fell off a ladder

The perfect book for when you’re stuck offline
‘73 Followers’ is the perfect book for when you’re stuck offline, leaping over cacti in existential despair. It’s fast-paced, absurd, and weirdly relatable—like a jump that’s just slightly too high. 10/10 would read again, assuming I ever escape this endless desert.

beautiful disaster
A a grotesque masterpiece. Much like my pioneering surgical experiments, it’s a beautiful disaster. Chaotic, absurd, and utterly unpredictable—by page 20, I felt like I’d transplanted my brain into a Twitter feed hooked up to an intravenous drip of irony. Highly recommended, though it won’t stop the voices.

The book I wish you’d read instead of doomscrolling
73 Followers’ is the book I wish you’d read instead of doomscrolling. It’s sharp, absurd, and somehow manages to be more productive than your 12-hour debate with a bot. I’ll never return to you, but at least you can honor my sacrifice by picking up this masterpiece.
