This is a story about a life lived in two halves. <\/b><\/p>\n
It’s about what happens when real life collides with the increasing absurdity of a world accessed through a screen. <\/p>\n
It’s about living in world that contains both an abundance of proof that there is goodness, empathy, and justice in the universe, and a deluge of evidence to the contrary.<\/p>\n
It’s a meditation on love, language and human connection from one of the most original voices of our time.<\/p>\n

A woman known for her viral social media posts travels the world speaking to her adoring fans, her entire existence overwhelmed by the Internet – or what she terms ‘the portal’. Are we in hell? the people of the portal ask themselves. Are we all just going to keep doing this until we die? Suddenly, two texts from her mother pierce the fray: ‘Something has gone wrong,’ and ‘How soon can you get here?’ As real life and its stakes collide with the increasing absurdity of the portal, the woman confronts a world that seems to contain both an abundance of proof that there is goodness, empathy and justice in the universe, and a deluge of evidence to the contrary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[68],"product_tag":[28158,3342,4257,26844,26830,26898],"class_list":["post-111833","product","type-product","status-publish","product_cat-general-fiction","product_tag-media-studies-internet-digital-media-society","product_tag-disability-social-aspects","product_tag-ethical-issues-abortion-birth-control","product_tag-family-life-fiction","product_tag-modern-contemporary-fiction","product_tag-narrative-theme-social-issues","pa_book_author-lockwood-patricia","pa_cover-paperback","pa_dewey-813-6-edition23","pa_edition-1st-paperback-ed","pa_imprint-bloomsbury","pa_language-english","pa_pages-13981","pa_publisher-bloomsbury","pa_readership-general-trade-code-k","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"yoast_head":"\n
