In our increasingly networked and image-saturated lives, the notion of disappearing has never been both more enchanting and yet fanciful. The pressure to be public comes not just from our peers, but vast and pervasive technology companies, which want to profit from patterns in our behaviour. Busch sets out to explore her own uneasiness with this arrangement, and what she senses is a widespread desire for a less scrutinised way of life in this shimmering collage of poetry, cinema, memoir, myth, and much more.

Akiko Busch is the author of several essay collections, including Nine Ways to Cross a River, a series of linked essays about swimming across American rivers and The Incidental Steward, published by Yale University Press in 2013 and awarded an Honorable Mention in the Natural History Literature category of 2013 National Outdoor Book Awards. She was a contributing editor at Metropolis magazine for twenty years, and her work has appeared in numerous national magazines, newspapers, and exhibition catalogues. She is on the faculty of the School of Visual Arts in New York City.
