No One Is Talking About This
Description
A woman catapulted into viral internet stardom finds herself pulled into “the portal,” a surreal digital landscape where voices, images, and identities collide until the line between self and collective consciousness feels dangerously thin. As she moves through a post-ironic world of endless feeds and borrowed language, the absurdity of the screen begins to echo with real-world urgency—climate catastrophe, political instability, and an epidemic of loneliness that no algorithm can fix. When a family crisis forces her to step back into ordinary life, she must confront what remains when the noise stops and ask whether “after the internet” is a place—or a way of being. With Patricia Lockwood’s sharp, darkly comic, genre-bending style, this novel turns contemporary disorientation into a searching meditation on humanity, connection, and the cost of living in multiple realities at once.
