IDENTITY CRISIS
Book ID/图书代码: 13160019C00009
English Summary/英文概要: Why are we all so hostile? So quick to take offence? Truly we are living in the age of outrage.
A series of apparently random murders draws amiable, old-school Detective Mick Matlock into a world of sex, politics, reality TV and a bewildering kaleidoscope of opposing identity groups. Lost in a blizzard of hashtags, his already complex investigation is further impeded by the fact that he simply doesn’t ‘get’ a single thing about anything anymore.
Meanwhile, each day another public figure confesses to having ‘misspoken’ and prostrates themselves before the judgement of Twitter. Begging for forgiveness, assuring the public “that is not who I am”.
But if nobody is who they are anymore - then who the f##k are we?

与此同时,每天都有一位公众人物承认自己“说错话”,并在推特发声点评前屈服,乞求原谅,并向公众保证‘我不是那样的人、’(Sandy)
