A book by Young Emperors

What is an influencer? A job, a title, a culture — or perhaps a new artistic medium?

The Alphabet of Influence is a visual and philosophical exploration of what influence means today. Created by Young Emperors, the book presents twenty-six artists, each representing one letter of the alphabet, chosen for the way they use social media as a canvas of expression.

Through intimate portraits and hidden texts sealed within French-folded pages, the book captures the fluid and ever-evolving language of the digital age — where creators, algorithms, and audiences redefine authorship and authenticity.

Anchoring the ephemeral world of the feed into the permanence of print, this work turns a momentary scroll into a timeless object. At its center lies the @ symbol — a relic of connection and communication — reimagined as the emblem of a generation.

The Alphabet of Influence is a portrait of twenty-six voices shaping culture today — from the screen to your hands.
