SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOLLINGER EVERYMAN WODEHOUSE PRIZE A wry,
provocative and very funny debut novel about identity, authenticity
and the self in the age of the internet 'I loved it' Zadie Smith
'Brilliant, very funny' Guardian 'Prepare to feel very seen' I-D On
the eve of Donald Trump's inauguration, a young woman snoops
through her boyfriend's phone and makes a startling discovery: he's
an anonymous Internet conspiracy theorist, and a popular one at
that. Already fluent in Internet fakery, irony, and outrage, she's
not exactly shocked by the revelation. But this is only the first
in a series of bizarre twists that expose a world whose truths are
shaped by online lies. Suddenly left with no reason to stay in New
York - or be anywhere in particular - she flees to Berlin, and
embarks on her own cycles of manipulation in the deceptive spaces
of her daily life, from dating apps to expat social events,
open-plan offices to bureaucratic waiting rooms. Narrated in a
voice as seductive as it is subtly subversive, Fake Accounts is a
wry, provocative and very funny debut novel about identity and
authenticity in the age of the internet.
