English | ISBN: 1503635481 | 2023 | 304 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In recent decades, authenticity has become an American obsession. It animates thirty years’ worth of reality TV programming and fuels the explosive virality of one hot social media app after another. It characterizes Donald Trump’s willful disregard for political correctness (and proofreading) and inspires multinational corporations to stake activist claims in ways that few "woke" brands ever dared before.
