Story
In 1996, when Eva was four years old, John Perry Barlow announced 'a civilization of the spirit' with cyberspace. As she grew older, Eva declared privacy an outdated concept and created her first blog under the name Eva. She documented her life and thoughts online, becoming an internet star and icon of the blogging world. Now in her early twenties, Eva lives between two worlds: her 'real' life as an anarchic vagabond, social marginal figure, and feminist sex worker, and her online persona as Eva.
