Combining personal introspection with caustic social commentary, Bret Easton Ellis's first non-fiction work is a dynamic, "controversial" essay on the failures and ignorance of our digital age on one hand, and the famous freedom of speech on the other.

With the same originality that characterizes his imagination, Ellis fully deconstructs the dominant "goods" of the social media era, starting from the dangerous worship of likes and reaching the raw denunciation of self-censorship - especially the one done in the hope of acceptance - through the bold perspective of a life dedicated to authenticity.

Provocative, persistent, and humorous, "White: The Tyranny of Identity in the Modern Age" illuminates not only what is visible on the glamorous and untouched surface of things, but also the ruthless truths hidden beneath.
