Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books
about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The electric candle and
faux fur, coffee substitutes and meat analogues, Obama
impersonators, prosthetics. Imitation this, false that. Humans have
been replacing and improving upon the real thing for millennia -
from wooden toes found on Egyptian mummies to the Luxor pyramid in
Las Vegas. So why do people have such disdain for so-called
"fakes"? Kati Stevens's Fake discusses the strange history of
imitations, as well as our ever-changing psychological and
socioeconomic relationships with them. After all, fakes aren't
going anywhere; they seem to be going everywhere. Object Lessons is
published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
