內容介紹

令人為之驚艷的處女作小說,被各大報章、網路媒體選為最受矚目的年度好書!這本小說貼切地描述了當今網路發達世代,充斥著假消息、酸民文化及社群媒體成癮的現象,打開後不讀到最後一頁你絕不想放下,因為我們都身處其中…

 

「這本小說讓人想直接從網路時代登出。我愛死它了!」——英國小說家查蒂·史密斯(Zadie Smith)

 

在前美國總統唐納·川普 (Donald Trump)就職典禮前夕,一位年輕女人偷看自己的男友的手機,發現一個令她吃驚的秘密:原來自己的男友在網路上是一位頗有聲量的匿名陰謀論者。然而網路上一貫充斥著假消息、反諷、酸言酸語,自己的男友是陰謀論者,也倒沒那麼吃驚。事實上,她反而感到寬慰,因為男友在現實生活中是個冷漠之人,她自己其實也盤算著,在前往參與女性大遊行的旅途中結束這段停滯不前的感情。這個轉折,只是後續一系列怪奇事件中的一個,然而它們都揭露了一個事實,甚至事實的真相是由網路上的謊言所塑造而成……

 

突然之間,這名女人無故離開紐約,與朋友和同事漸行漸遠,她逃到了柏林,開始進行一連串的欺瞞手段,從約會app、外國人聚會app、開放式設計辦公室、高官會客室。她開始認為自己不能相信任何人,相信其他人也是和她一樣的想法吧?

 

《帳勢欺人》(Fake Accounts)以勾人的自信、顛覆性的機智展現了當前自我、社群、妄想和網路霸凌,以及現實生活、虛擬世界在網路時代的對話方式。

書評

"This novel made me want to retire from contemporary reality. I loved it." —Zadie Smith

 

"Witty and self-aware." —The New Yorker 

 

"[A] witty novel that captures a certain species of Internet life better than any other book I’ve read. A century ago New York City got Edith Wharton; now the World Wide Web gets Lauren Oyler. We're even." —Ron Charles, The Washington Post

 

"Social media has lurked in the background of contemporary literary fiction . . . but here it feels, finally, fully and thoroughly explored, with style and originality . . . I felt sharpened by it, grateful for its provocations." —Parul Sehgal, The New York Times

 

"An invigorating work, deadly precise in its skewering of people, places and things . . . Stylish, despairing and very funny, Fake Accounts . . . adroitly maps the dwindling gap between the individual and the world." —Katie Kitamura, The New York Times Book Review 

 

"[The] narrative voice will ring bells with fans of Oyler’s criticism. It’s confident, knowing, fond of putting on a performance and owning it." —Clare Bucknell, WSJ. Magazine

 

"Smart and dark . . . A pleasure to read and easy to inhale. The writer is brilliant, bringing to life a narrator with a penetrating gaze and a mordant, misanthropic voice." —Scott Stern, The New Republic

 

"Pitch-perfect descriptions of online interactions . . . The effect of reading the book is akin to falling into an hours-long social media binge: maddening, revealing, addictive." —Keziah Weir, Vanity Fair

 

"Full of brilliantly astute cultural criticisms . . . The premise may sound dark, but Lauren Oyler's delightfully wry, sharply observational prose turns the protagonist's pity party into a lively affair." —Seija Rankin, Entertainment Weekly

 

"Oyler perfectly, cringingly captures the pseudo-worldly millennial hustler . . . [She] unravels—in a darkly comic novel that takes several satiric turns, including a memorable send-up of autofiction—the weighty, inescapable feeling of being online and never being able to log off, and the way we create fictional universes for ourselves." —Rachel Tashjian, GQ

 

"An absolutely brilliant take on the bizarre and despicable ways the internet has warped our perception of reality . . . Equal parts witty and deceptive, this is a startling critique of what we know to be true but struggle to accept." —Elle, One of the Most Anticipated Books of the Year

 

"[A] ruthless depiction of the devastatingly alienated lives of downwardly mobile but not destitute 'creative' millennials . . . Oyler is a talented prose stylist, darkly funny at times, biting, clever. Her narrator’s observations of the world are crystal-clear and true." —Marianela D’Aprile, Jacobin

 

"One of the year’s sharpest debut novels . . . Told in our narrator’s seductive, incisive, and often deceptive voice, Fake Accounts is a ferociously smart dissection of the social media age, where we’re long on carefully-crafted fictions and short on truth."—Adrienne Westenfeld, Esquire, A Best Book of the Year

 

"Outstanding . . . You'll laugh, you'll groan, and like many subjects of Oyler's book reviews, you'll perhaps see more of yourself than you'd like to in her pages." —Jenny Singer, Glamour

 

"Without knowing it, I was waiting for this novel . . . Underneath the ruthless observations is someone who is clearly yearning for real connection—something difficult to find these days." —Emma Levy, The Seattle Times

 

"You’ll be charmed from the start by Oyler’s astute, slyly scathing take on living and dating in the Trump era." —Patrick Rapa, Philadelphia Inquirer

 

"Ambitious and accomplished, and quite funny." —Emma Sarappo, Washington City Paper

 

"Oyler is an extremely talented and insightful literary critic . . .  and a lot of this book is a critique of both contemporary literary fiction and of the way we’re taught to think and speak by the larger media ecosystem." —Constance Grady, Vox

 

"Fake Accounts is exciting for its commitment to considering everything, to never glossing over." —Claire Fallon, HuffPost

 

"Oyler is as unsparing of those things she finds tedious and facile—fragmented novels, online performances, the glorification of navel-gazing—in her fiction as she is in her criticism, only in Fake Accounts she is able to have a new kind of fun with these critiques, to explore them more deeply by inhabiting and experimenting with them, and to reflect reality by recasting it as a kind of hyper-reality . . . Oyler wrote a contemporary novel that is reflective of the time, without participating in any of the unspoken, agreed upon ways to reflect this time: There is no undue catastrophizing, no moral posturing, there is just reality, believe it or not." —Kristin Iversen, Refinery29

 

"Fake Accounts takes place at the onset of the Trump administration. There are pussy hats. But the psychic rupture of the debut of the Trump times is backdrop for a story that is mostly about the effects of exposure to the Internet on the self . . . This is a portrait of a person made incredibly ill by the Internet. She may be going mad and trying to take us down with her." —Choire Sicha, The New York Review of Books

 

"Lauren Oyler’s smart and funny Fake Accounts is an incredibly accurate representation of what it means to be a person who’s online . . . Anyone familiar with Olyer’s brilliant book criticism will love this self-assured and witty debut." —Literary Hub, Best Books of the Year
