Review Examines Deepfake Abuse and Narrative Power in Kandasamy’s Novel

Meena Kandasamy’s novel is about Amy, a woman who finds a fake sexual video online that uses her face.

The review says the video is a new kind of technology used in an old-fashioned way: to shame and hurt women.

Amy is not written as a perfect person, but the harm done to her still matters.

People from many groups try to tell Amy’s story for her.

Over time, she begins watching those people and trying to tell her own story.

The book is told in short pieces that resemble posts, pictures and messages online.

This style shows how confusing and upsetting an online crisis can feel.

The reviewer praises the book’s humour and bold ideas, while noting that some parts are difficult and some characters are less developed.
