The end confused me slightly, I couldn’t tell if Sigrid was accusing Kayleigh of performing unconsensual acts on her, and whether that was what actually happened or if what she’d been subjected to through her work twisted her view on their relationships. I was rather shocked when Sigrid and Kyo started spouting extremely anti semitic views, but i think that plot line was a great example of how being constantly exposed to those kinds of opinions and beliefs can make someone subscribe to them.
Overall i enjoyed this book, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a quick and gripping read!

The most interesting part of this book to me is the insight it gives into how content moderation affects the people who do it - both in terms of the impact on their mental health, and in terms of some of the material they are viewing
If you're interested in the consequences of the growing volume and consumption of difficult material on the internet, online radicalization, or the way trauma is increasingly built into the experience of someone who uses the internet, you might like this book. Be warned though, it's pretty grim the whole way through.

A very triggering read. The content they discuss moderating is somewhat disturbing. Plot contains clear sexual abuse.molliundera_'s review against another edition

That’s not even mentioning the unnecessary homophobia, racism, antisemitism, and fat phobia. Slurs and conversation of these topics were played off as a joke at first, then by the end were cemented as actual beliefs several characters held.
It has a pretty cover. Literally the only good thing I can say.

An insightful look at abuse in the digital age.
This is a startling book, and will not be for everyone. However, the things it says about the depravity of the world, abuse, relationships, and PTSD are important. When does an abuser cross the line? How does an abuser convince themselves what they’re doing is ok? Can trauma justify horrible actions? This story takes unreliable narration to another level. It absolutely left me thinking.
