Leigh Stein Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Leigh Stein schrijft over wat het internet met ons doet, en onderzoekt de diepgaande effecten ervan op individuen en de samenleving. Haar nieuwste roman is een scherpe satire op de wellnessindustrie en het 'girlboss'-feminisme, die de zoektocht naar succes en zelfpresentatie in de hedendaagse cultuur kritisch onderzoekt. Stein put uit haar uitgebreide ervaring met onlinegemeenschappen en feministisch activisme en creëert proza dat het digitale leven en de invloed ervan op onze identiteiten ontleedt.
