Description

San Francisco in 2013 was a city where technology and gentrification collided. Adeline found herself caught in the middle of it all - an artist struggling to make a name for herself in a culture that valued profit above all else. The digital age was fueling a new kind of abuse, one that was both hilarious and horrifying. As the tech companies extracted revenue from online misogyny and racism, the city's gentrification continued unabated. Billions of tweets were being shared, each one contributing to the chaos. This novel is a satire of life among the victims of the internet age, tracking the human casualties of the digital boom. With its unique blend of humor, fury and grotesquery, this book offers a searing critique of our online world.
