The concept was so interesting. That was what made the book redeemable for me a bit. I understand that the author was trying to portray the harmful effects of such a job. However, this was not done well. I found it terribly hard to care about any of the characters because I hardly felt like I knew who any of them were. They weren’t flushed out well (to be fair though, this was a very short book). Some pieces felt unnecessarily convoluted and the ending was just… what? It wasn’t poetic or hard hitting, even with some reflection.. It just felt like a chunk of the book was missing.

An interesting look at content moderators who review the worst things people put onto the internet, and how becoming desensitised to such content might affect their own sense of morality. The concept was super intriguing but the execution felt very rushed. There were a lot of different topics and themes covered that could have had more time spent on them, and the open ending felt anticlimactic and unfinished, like the author just didn’t know how to end the book.

i’m not sure why but i thought this was nonfiction. i think this book lacked a general plot or much substance. i’m not really sure what the point of this book is
