Amrita has a past. In London, she goes by Amy - the cool girl who's woker than you - but spends most days gallivanting with the other Little India rich kids. Until an AI porno of her 'forwarded many times' by meddling WhatsApp aunties suddenly appears everywhere for millions to view. Within a day, she's being publicly stoned in the digital town square by an anonymous operation of Hindu extremist incels.

Together with her allies including her suitably poor and dark bestie, a fling nicknamed the Child Solider, and the insufferable trustafarian India, the unlikely trio take a page out of the Kardashian workbook and flip the script. Will it work, or has the bait unknowingly fed herself into the belly of an underground beast that will not rest until she, too, is below ground?

How far are you actually willing to go for what you say you believe in? For readers of Fundamentally and I'M A FAN, Fieldwork as a Sex Object is a novel about having skin in the game, leaving no stone unthrown back at the incel manosphere and and its hand in the rise of fascism.
