BRIDGET JONES MEETS SLAVOJ ZIZEK: YOU GET CHICK-LIT, AND CLASS STRUGGLE

The answer is to become shameless. How can you shame a shameless woman?

Amrita goes by Amy. Amy identifies as a Marxist. Nevermind her teenage stint on reality TV and millionaire daddy who runs Delhi High Court. It's only when an AI-generated deepfake porno of her 'forwarded many times' by misinformed WhatsApp aunties goes mega-viral that sh*t gets real.

The next day, Little Miss Ally's reputation is facing a public stoning in the digital town square so damaging it could take down a Kardashian. Her executioners? A hysteric bunch of virgins - except this anonymous cartel of keyboard warriors are on a merciless crusade to eradicate desi jezebels and Make India Hindu Again.

A literary provocation about authenticity where the online turns offline turns bloody, Fieldwork as a Sex Object is not a novel you read but a novel that reads you. It asks every one of us with skin in the game what we're prepared to put on the line for our principles.
