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.
