| book description |

THE WOMEN'S PRIZE-SHORTLISTED POET AND PROVOCATEUR An iconic, must-read novel of incels, influencers and AK-47s 'Best book of the year' NUSSAIBAH YOUNIS 'I'm a fan' NICOLA STURGEON 'Fearless and brilliant' LEMN SISSAY 'One of the greats' NIKITA GILL 'A tour de force' NIKESH SHUKLA I mute the audio. I replay the video four times. It is not me. It is my fucking face. Amrita Chaturvedi goes by Amy. Amy identifies as a communist on Twitter (her profile omits a stint on Big Brother and a millionaire daddy running the show at the High Court of Delhi). Then reality hits: a deepfake porno of her forwarded around by WhatsApp aunties goes viral. On her birthday, Amy wakes to a stoning in the digital town square that could cancel the likes of Kim Kardashian. Her executioners? A cartel of unhinged virgins styling themselves after V for Vendetta - except these keyboard warriors are on a ruthless crusade to wipe out desi jezebels and Make India Hindu Again. A muscular, monumental work of internet literature in which the online turns offline turns bloody, Fieldwork as a Sex Object is not a novel you read but a novel that reads you: what are you prepared to risk for what you claim to believe? 'Fieldwork as a Sex Object will simultaneously shock and reel you in' VOGUE 'One of the most urgent voices of tomorrow' HARPER'S BAZAAR 'Kandasamy is fearless on the page' ESQUIRE 'A one-woman, agitprop literary-political movement' INDEPENDENT 'One of fiction's most fiery and unclassifiable' GUARDIAN
