Reviews

"""In this ingenious and provocative book, Park argues that twenty-first century Americans increasingly think of themselves as the sites of desires that originate elsewhere--in fitness watches, in 'wellness' culture, in Netflix algorithms, and, not least, in psychoactive substances. The result is a thrilling and maddening account of the unexpected but immediately recognizable ways that we are invited to imagine and govern ourselves in a world where 'addiction has become normal.'""--David Herzberg, University of Buffalo"
