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 rest of Little India.

Until a deepfake porno of her 'forwarded many times' by meddling WhatsApp aunties suddenly appears, all at once, everywhere. The next morning, she's being publicly stoned in the digital town square by anonymous Hindu incels. Together with an ex nicknamed the Child Solider, her suitably lower-caste bestie Nirmala, and English trustafarian India, the unlikely triple alliance take a page out of the Kardashian playbook.

Will they succeed in flipping the public narrative, or has the bait unknowingly fed herself into the belly of an invisible beast that will not rest until she is below ground?

What are you prepared to risk for your beliefs? For readers of Fundamentally and watchers of Adolescence, Fieldwork as a Sex Object is an incendiary novel about having skin in the game, leaving no stone unthrown back at the rise of fascism.
