About BJ Mendelson
I am a multi-time published author (two books of my own, two ghostwritten for others) on topics involving marketing, money, and privacy.
My first book, "Social Media Is Bullshit," was published by St. Martin's Press and translated into Russian, Polish, Spanish, and Chinese editions.
My second book, "Privacy: And How We Get It Back" was updated and re-released as a podcast sponsored by DuckDuckGo called "Stupid Sexy Privacy".
My third book, "How to Protect Yourself From Fascists & Weirdos" will be released, for free, thanks to DuckDuckGo in 2026 as both a .pdf and a .mp3. You can get a free copy by subscribing to the Stupid Sexy Privacy newsletter.
