On November 13, 2015, the world of twenty-three-year-old Ava is completely thrown into chaos. Following the attack on the Bataclan concert hall in Paris, a creeping fear takes hold of Ava, and she cannot help but constantly engage with images of horror. Time and again, she looks at photographs of the victims, memorizes Wikipedia entries on terrorist attacks, and watches violence videos on YouTube. When she also loses her job at the Apple Store, she wanders aimlessly through the streets of the city. Like a catalyst of reality, Ava absorbs everything she sees in an attempt to extract a small spark of meaning from an increasingly absurd world. Frederika Amalia Finkelstein is the radical voice of her generation. With "The Driven," she has caused a sensation in France. Never before has a young author dedicated herself so intensely to the world of the digital.
