How John Green Won the Internet by Anna Minard - Seattle Books. The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (Dutton Juvenile, $17.99) On New Year's Day 2007, web designer Hank Green posted a video to YouTube outlining for his brother, young-adult author John Green, the rules of a video-blogging project: The brothers, then in their late 20s, had decided to quit "communicating through any textual means" for one year; their contact would be mainly through public YouTube videos uploaded every weekday.
They did what anyone who's trying to make something authentic on the internet—as opposed to crass cross-platform branding—should do: They made stuff they liked. They gave each other challenges and punishments, told their favorite jokes ("What do neutrinos and I have in common? We're constantly penetrating your mom"), lectured at length about politics and books and science. At the time the videos started, John had published two moderately successful novels, which had been well reviewed, won awards, and become favorites among booksellers and librarians.
