Kayleigh and her colleagues spend all day watching horrors and hate on their screens, evaluating them with the platform’s ever-changing terms of service while a supervisor sits behind them, timing and scoring their assessments. Her job: reviewing offensive videos and pictures, rants and conspiracy theories, and deciding which need to be removed. That’s why she takes a job as a content moderator for a social media platform whose name she isn’t allowed to mention. until the violence strikes closer to home. For readers of Leila Slimani’s The Perfect Nanny or Ling Ma's Severance: a tight, propulsive, chilling novel by a rising international star about a group of young colleagues working as social media content monitors-reviewers of violent or illegal videos for an unnamed megacorporation-who convince themselves they’re in control.
