About the Original Book:

In nine essays that are as entertaining as they are thought-provoking, Tolentino explores how once-promising systems—the internet, religion, capitalism, female celebrity, weddings—went so awry so fast. Drawing from research and the trends she has covered in her career as a feature journalist, she demonstrates how society makes it easy and gratifying to participate in ridiculous and corrupt systems and almost impossible to oppose or opt out of them. Anyone who feels that the world is growing increasingly isolating will find this book an invaluable survival guide.
