Description
In this incisive collection of interconnected essays, the author examines how the internet, consumer culture, politics, and personal ambition shape the way we understand ourselves and the world around us. Drawing on experiences ranging from reality television and religious ecstasy to wedding culture, self-improvement, and the mythology of the American scammer, the book explores the uneasy boundary between freedom and performance, authenticity and self-delusion. Witty, searching, and attuned to contradiction, it offers a vivid portrait of a generation navigating an age of unstable truths and relentless self-invention.
