Leigh Stein Ordine dei libri (cronologico)

    Leigh Stein scrive di ciò che internet ci sta facendo, esplorando i suoi profondi effetti su individui e società. Il suo ultimo romanzo è un'acuta satira sull'industria del benessere e sul femminismo 'girlboss', che esamina criticamente la ricerca del successo e dell'autopresentazione nella cultura contemporanea. Attingendo dalla sua vasta esperienza con comunità online e attivismo femminista, Stein crea una prosa che disseziona la vita digitale e la sua influenza sulle nostre identità.
