We Had To Remove This Post Bewertungen

The dank underside of social media, its cruelty and delusions, have become, our shared affliction. It needed an accomplished novelist to explore humanely the damage. Hanna Bervoets has richly obliged in this superbly poised, psychologically astute and subtle novel of mental unravelling. -- Ian McEwan, author of Atonement
This novel gives us an acid glimpse into a new form of labor existing today, a job that extracts an immeasurable psychic toll. Fascinating and disturbing. -- Ling Ma, author of Severance
We Had To Remove This Post is one of the most fascinating books I've read in years. -- Kristen Arnett, author of Mostly Dead Things and With Teeth
I thought it was incredible and has real cult potential. -- Alice Slater * Tik Tok *
A discomfiting mystery about the disturbing parts of social media that most people never see * New York Times *
Powerful, discussable, and a harbinger of a voice-in-translation to watch. * Booklist Starred Review *
Scathing, darkly humorous exploration of the impact of VR, IR . . . Bervoets just gets it. This is, unironically, a novel for our time. * Kirkus Starred Review *
Hanna Bervoet's slim, compelling novel We Had to Remove This Post addresses the foetid morass of social media . . . Bevoets is often acidly funny, especially when demonstraring the workers' mordant, jockish humour. * TLS *
