Nine essays on the ways contemporary culture — the internet, feminism, drugs, scamming, fitness, the performance of self — makes us complicit in things we claim to oppose. Tolentino is the smartest writer working at the intersection of pop culture and structural critique, and she's hilarious about it. A book for everyone who suspects that self-awareness is necessary but not sufficient.
