Nagle graduated from Dublin City University with a PhD for a thesis entitled 'An investigation into contemporary online anti-feminist movements'.[3]

Nagle's book Kill All Normies: Online Culture Wars from 4chan and Tumblr to Trump and the Alt-Right discusses the role of the internet in the rise of the alt-right and incel movements.[4][5][6][7][8] An episode of the Fusion Networks' TV series Trumpland directed by Leighton Woodhouse was based on Nagle's Kill All Normies.[9] A Spanish edition of Nagle's book was published in May, 2018 by Orciny Press.[10]

In May 2018 a post on the LibCom.org website criticized Nagle for copying content from Wikipedia and other sources for Kill All Normies without referencing those sources, as well as copying mistakes made by those sources. This was corroborated by The Daily Beast.[11][12] Nagle and her publisher both issued detailed statements rejecting the accusations.[13][14]

Columnist Ross Douthat of the New York Times praised Nagle's "portrait of the online cultural war".[15] The New York Times Michelle Goldberg said that Kill All Normies had "captured this phenomenon".[16] Novelist George Saunders listed Kill All Normies as one of his ten favorite books.[17]
