We Had To Remove This Post

' Fast paced and thrilling, violent and nightmarish and grief-stricken, but also tender and wildly moving. ' - Kristen Arnett Kayleigh needs money. That' s why she takes a job as a content moderator for a social media platform whose name she isn' t allowed to mention. Her job: reviewing offensive videos and pictures, rants and conspiracy theories, and deciding which need to be removed. It' s gruelling work. Kayleigh and her colleagues spend all day watching horrors and hate on their screens, evaluating them with the platform' s ever-changing moderating guidelines. Yet Kayleigh is good at her job, and in her colleagues she finds a group of friends, even a new girlfriend - and for the first time in her life, Kayleigh' s future seems bright. But soon the job seems to change them all, shifting their worlds in alarming ways. But when her colleagues begin to break down; when Sigrid, her new girlfriend, grows increasingly distant and fragile; when her friends start espousing the very conspiracy theories they' re meant to be evaluating; Kayleigh begins to wonder if the job may be too much for them. She' s still totally fine, though - or is she? We Had To Remove This Post by Hanna Bervoets is a chilling, powerful and gripping story about what - or who - determines how we see the world.
