"A proactive book of 9 essays on our culture in the internet age by a New Yorker Staff writer. She is essentially the Joao Felix of Cultural Criticism. If you like to read and think as you do so, buy this book.  I could not put it down. I love the way the way Tolentino fuses an emotionality and a rigorous intellectualism without letting go of either. She writes "like many amongst us I have become acutely conscious of the way my brain degrades when I strap it in to receive the full barrage of the internet. These unlimited channels, all constantly reloading with new information: births, deaths, boasts, bombings, jokes, job announcements, ads, warnings, complaints, confessions, and political disasters blitzing our frayed neurons in huge waves of information that pummel us and then are instantly replaced. This is an awful way to live and it is wearing us down quickly." There is no better way to articulate trying to follow every major football league than Jia. Buy this book now."
