Alice Park has an undivided inner life - unconcealed, unperformed - that makes her invisible to algorithmic surveillance and, to one client, worth a fortune. Soli, an Ivy-educated broker, assembles a network of operatives from supermarket clerks to HR coordinators, each recruited because they already know how to read a hidden self - having spent their lives managing their own. Over five years they dismantle Alice's job, home, and credibility, engineering a crisis to force her into visibility. Told in fractured, interlocking fragments, the novel traces the watchers more than the watched - and what's left of a person who has only ever been a performance.
