This is a book about the incentives that shape us, and about how hard it is to see ourselves clearly through a culture that revolves around the self. In each essay, Tolentino writes about a cultural prism: the rise of the nightmare social internet; the advent of scamming as the definitive millennial ethos; the literary heroine s journey from brave to blank to bitter; the punitive dream of optimization, which insists that everything, including our bodies, should become more efficient and beautiful until we die. Gleaming with Tolentino s sense of humor and capacity to elucidate the impossibly complex in an instant, and marked by her desire to treat the reader with profound honesty, \u003ci\u003eTrick Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e is an instant classic of the worst decade yet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFINALIST FOR THE PEN\/DIAMONSTEIN-SPIELVOGEL AWARD FOR THE ART OF THE ESSAY\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53791320834386,"sku":"9780525510567","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_26df456e-848f-48ba-bde9-0f513a0fdba4.jpg?v=1781807729","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/trick-mirror","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
