Thanks to @Dannosphere for talking with me about the San Francisco-ness of my novel. Here I am holding the book outside of the original Instagram office in South Park, which, as it turns out, was also Twitter's first office (and is currently for lease).
“Please Report Your Bug Here” is an SF-set novel written by Instagram’s first employee, Josh Riedel. trib.al/B5bQ4qB
