The Lives of Others is a merciless description of a society where everyone wants to be seen and heard, and will do anything to break thought all the noise.
A woman has worked as a logger for a reality TV show that was never aired. Now she isolated herself at home and feeds her addiction to gossip apps, forgotten celebrities, women who say yes to the dress, videos no one wants to see and podcasts no one listens to. All the while the invoices pile up. She gets the idea that she can charge for seeing, liking and commenting on people's social media posts, on Youtube, and to listen and give feedback on podcasts. Turns out this idea will compromise her anonymity.
The Lives of Others is an incredibly current novel about the all-consuming reality TV genre, about loneliness and about being a participant in the world.
