Deeply disturbing and thought provoking book about work culture and the dangers of our long term exposure and addiction to the internet, especially as it pertains to radicalization and conspiracy thought.  I could easily see this as a Black Mirror episode!

I think this would make a good A24 film.

Disturbing, realistic, almost anticlimactic. A good commentary on how exposure to bad/uncomfortable/hateful things can desensitize, inundate, and indoctrinate us.

omfg this book made me so goddamn mad!!!! loved the conversation about content moderation and the moral implications of what is and isn’t considered okay to post. as someone who ran the gauntlet a bunch when i was in middle school that shit fucks you up even if you don’t think it does. wanted to fucking punch all her bitch ass coworkers who turned out to be conspiracy theorists. would love to have continued on with the ending cause it got very interesting, but i do absolutely love an open ending so i can’t complain.
