![]() No preview copies and extremely limited interview opportunities with the author. The launch - the book is being released in 13 countries simultaneously - is highly reminiscent of the marketing hype surrounding David Lagercrantz’s Millennium sequel. It is an insight that also seems to have had an affect on the Forum publishing house, who on 20 October will be launching his début book, This book loves you. With 39 million subscribers, you have to admit that Felix Kjellberg has succeeded in mesmerizing his viewers. There are no cultural funds for slim productions on Youtube. If his “bros” want more horror in forthcoming episodes, then Pewdiepie has little choice but to try and meet their wishes. The difference here is that the audience is in direct contact with the director. And for each performance, the structure and content gradually makes its way into your heart. I didn’t anyway the pomposity mostly reminded me of the sort of popular tales that you used to get in rural Sweden. Show me a first time opera-goer who can appreciate Verdi’s La Traviata without any prior knowledge. It is a subculture that requires a set of keys to be able to fully understand it - in that respect it is not entirely unlike the world of opera. And in the Happy Wheels game, for example, another of Pewdiepie's favourite characters, Irresponsible Dad, yells at his son as both of them get impaled on a bloody spear. If he should come across a pig carcass next to a pile of bodies in some torture chamber, you can pretty much guarantee that he is going to try and shove its snout between the buttocks of one of the bodies. The jokes, crude and laddish, have an unmistakable bouquet of net forum and humour sites like Imgur, Reddit and 9gag about them. Mr Chair, as the chair is known, is one of Pewdiepie’s regular sidekicks.Ī tab ambiguous perhaps, but that’s just the way he rolls. When Pewdiepie starts conversing with a chair in the Slender Man horror game, his followers know that it is a reference to the time he played Amnesia a few years ago. Together with his “bros” - his almost religiously devoted following - he has managed to establish an Internet mythology of his own through his Let’s Play videos. His winning business concept is admirably brief: playing video games and commenting on what happens in the game. In his role as Pewdiepie he can tick all of those boxes. His now famous journey from Chalmers University drop-out, selling hotdogs, to Youtube sensation, is like a speeded up and online version of the American, and now perhaps also Swedish, belief in “do something, be someone and preferably get rich while you’re at it.” But the dust inevitably settles, floating gently back down towards the platform, and by the time we hit the tarmac, Felix Kjellberg is already at the next station. We swirl about for a moment as he thunders past, and we think we sense a direction, a glimpse of the future.
