Abstract

This short fiction collection offers a cultural critique of social technology, social judgment, and social exchange. From a content creator who uses AI to misrepresent her entire existence for profit, to drunk suburban moms that fist fight over a bingo prize at a school fundraiser, the characters reveal their deeply human authenticity, even when their behavior is inhumane. The stories blend humor with subtextual sadness, leaving the reader laughing, wondering how we got here, and a little bit scared of where we go next.
