Earth Angel is a book like no other, the paperback that swallowed the smartphone. An Isis recruit, an adolescent beauty queen, and a childless millennial walk into a bar. A Biblical plague rains down head lice, aerial drone strikes, gender non-conforming frogs. An app throws a slumber party for a friendless office worker. Texans in the winter, the Taliban in Springtime, Teslas with ℮☥ bumper stickers, Frozen 5 in Arabic, architectural consistency laws in Laurel Canyon, the longest recorded nosebleed in history. Earth Angel is a bible for those of us who came of age in the wasteland of 2007 to 2010, for children of the internet who starved their Neopets and who questioned not if they'd get a letter from Hogwarts one day, but if they'd be recruited to join a terrorist organization. Earth Angel is a book about technology and girlhood in a time when things were grim enough to know that the future was going to be more grim - capturing an era experienced most strongly by cusp of Gen Z and young Millennials who grew up without cell phones, but who know about fax machines, away messages, and Bitcoin |
