Who watches the watchers, and do they need a therapist? This near-future tale takes you behind the scenes into the dark, isolated, claustrophobic, and tightly controlled, world of social content "moderation" and refining. Viewer numbers are everything and heinous content is king, but what severe toll does this extract from the moderators? In this latest work from the acclaimed author of A Spy in Time, Imraan Coovadia lays bare a stark and compelling future warning based on current realities.
"Imraan Coovadia brings to life the trauma and heartache of everyday life in a tech bro's nightmare company, a tale of many different kinds of love and of hate." Geoff Ryman, author of Animals.
Imraan Coovadia is a writer and director of the UCT writing programme. He has published most recently, An Enemy of the People (2026) and The Poisoners: on South Africa's Toxic Past (2021), and a number of novels, including A Spy in Time (2018) shortlisted for a Nommo Award and John W.
