Welcome to the zeitgeist viewed from the Manhattan news desk of a shrewdly inquisitive young journalist... In the late 2010s, as an unnamed reporter covers technology, the economy, and politics during a high-stakes election, her personal life becomes curiously entangled with her sources. Told in snapshots and dialogue — overheard and divulged — Information Age is spare, funny, and attentive — a playful blurring of public and private life. What people are saying: "Information Age is compulsively readable — funny, sexy, sharp, charming. It’s about work and friendships and family and learning how to live with strangers and with yourself. I gobbled it up in one sitting." - Danielle Dutton, co-founder of Dorothy, A Publishing Project "Captures the splendor and misery of being in your twenties in sly style... Lewis's gift for observation and condensation, her wryness, means that every page has that spark of recognition — in other words, the mark of truth." - Joanna Biggs, deputy editor of The Yale Review “In Information Age, Cora Lewis’s delectable and harrowing and often very funny debut, she applies the flashing precision of a surgical tool to the material of our daily lives." - Kathryn Davis, author of Aurelia, Aurélia and Duplex “Here is a writer preternaturally attuned to the grain of the world, as sensitive to assorted contemporary absurdities as she is to moments of grace… It’s a pure pleasure to spend time in Lewis’s sensibility.” - Hermione Hoby, author of Virtue and Neon in Daylight "Lewis holds up pairs of objects in a mirror, and it's our pleasure to watch as their proportions warp. A modern, delicate exercise in juxtaposition." - Lillian Fishman, author of Acts of Service “Incandescent… Radiating on a fiercely beating frequency of heart and truth… This is what it was like.” - Greg Jackson, author of The Dimensions of a Cave and Prodigals
