About longings, fears, the internet, and this cursed patriarchy. Nina Kunz writes precisely, humorously, and intelligently about anxieties, desires, and cultural phenomena in a society caught between privileged prosperity and existential crisis.

A book about performance pressure, workism, world-weariness, tattoos, glowing smartphones, melting polar caps, and patriarchy.
