If you've been looking for a book to make you feel guilty every time you pick up your phone to scroll Instagram instead of reading, well, this is it. Followers is taking on influencer culture and the demons of screen devotion in an entirely new and terrifyingly compelling way. Told between the very recent past and the near future, Followers tells of a Truman Show type community in California that's entirely populated by influencers who are followed by the general public on their implanted "devices", which replaced the screens people were addicted to a generation earlier, before a massive scandal destroyed the internet as we know it now. Alternatingly, we're told the story of Orla, a blogger at a celebrity focused site who wants to write her own novel but can't quite get started, and her roommate Floss, who sees Orla and her work as a way to get a foothold as an influencer and celebrity. Soon, readers will realize how these stories connect, and as the secrets and scandals emerge, this story gets even more compelling. It's not just the guilt you'll feel if you set this down to pick up your phone- you truly won't want to as it's entirely engrossing.
