Inhalt:
A writer at The New Yorker examines the fractures at the center of contemporary culture. In each essay, Tolentino writes about a cultural prism: the rise of the nightmare social internet; the advent of scamming as the definitive millennial ethos; the literary heroine's journey from brave to blank to bitter; and the punitive dream of optimization, which insists that everything, including our bodies, should become more efficient and beautiful until we die
Anmerkung:
The I in internet -- Reality TV me -- Always be optimizing -- Pure heroines -- Ecstasy -- The story of a generation in seven scams -- We come from old Virginia -- The cult of the difficult woman -- I thee dread
