520    When Boyer was diagnosed with highly aggressive triple-
       negative breast cancer, the illness was both a crisis and 
       an initiation into new ideas about mortality and the 
       gendered politics of illness. Here she explores the 
       experience of illness as mediated by digital screens, 
       weaving in ancient Roman dream diarists, cancer hoaxers 
       and fetishists, cancer vloggers, corporate lies, John 
       Donne, the ecological costs of chemotherapy, and the many 
       little murders of capitalism. She will break your heart, 
       make you angry enough to spit, and show you contemporary 
       America as a thing both desperately ill and occasionally 
       perversely glorious. -- adapted from jacket
