Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion by Jia Tolentino

The Guardian Book of the Year and the Times Literary Non-Fiction Book of the Year

‘It filled me with hope’ Zadie Smith

What happens to our behaviour when we live most of our lives online? What does it mean to ‘always be optimising’? And what is it about scams and the millennial generation?

We are living in the era of the self, in an era of malleable truth and widespread personal and political delusion. In these nine interlinked essays, Jia Tolentino, the New Yorker’s brightest young talent, explores her own coming of age in this warped and confusing landscape.

Offering nuanced and witty reflections on feminism, reality TV, the internet, drugs, identity and more, Jia Tolentino writes with style, humour and a fierce clarity about these strangest of times. Trick Mirror is a multifaceted, thought-provoking and entertaining response to our zeitgeist – a must-read for anyone interested in the way we live and think today.
