FROM THE WOMEN'S PRIZE-SHORTLISTED AUTHOR AND ACTIVIST WITH 200,000 FOLLOWERS Amrita Chaturvedi goes by Amy (occasionally A). Amy self-identifies as a communist on Twitter (her bio conveniently omits a cameo on Big Brother and millionaire daddy who runs the show at Delhi High Court). When an AI deepfake porno of her 'forwarded many times' by WhatsApp aunties goes viral, the truth finally catches up to Amy. On her birthday, she is facing a mass stoning in the digital town square that could cancel Kim Kardashian. Her executioners? An unhinged cartel of virgins styling themselves after V for Vendetta — except these anonymous keyboard warriors are on a merciless crusade to eradicate desi jezebels and Make India Hindu Again. A must-read literary provocation about incels, influencers and AK-47s where the online turns offline turns bloody, Fieldwork as a Sex Object is not a novel you read but a novel that reads you. In an age of performance, it invites every one of us to ask ourselves how much we're prepared to put on the line for our principles.
