This book is rewiring my brain so I share some quotes:

- "when editors and journalists steer clear of important topics for fear that their audiences can't cope with complex truths, it doesn't throttle conspiracies - it fuels them"
- "the structural critiques of capitalism are gone, and in their place are discombobulated conspiracies that somehow frame deregulated capitalism as communism in disguise"

This book has me in its grips omg

More quotes I've like:

- "put differently, we should not fear having voices in our heads - we should fear their absence"
- "and so the question remains: what aren't we building when we are building our brands?"

A couple quotes I've enjoyed so far:

- "stop eavesdropping on strangers talking about you in this crowded and filthy global toilet known as social media"

- "we'd all like to think that wouldn't we? the trouble is, there are just so damn many of us out there trying to be unique at the same time, using the same preprogrammed tools, writing in the same fonts, answering the same prompts"

This book is killing me in a good way!!

"that's the thing about having a body, you only get one and you're trapped in it from beginning to end" - crippling words than you Katherine

No but why would you pretend to be a mannequin... I love this girl

This girl is already pissing me off

I can already tell this is going to be awful

How am I already crying?
