In Jia Tolentino's New York Times bestselling book of essays, Trick Mirror, she writes about forces like social media, religion, politics and the wedding industry, asking: do these things serve us? Do they make our lives better? Or do they just confuse us? The jacket of the book describes Tolentino as "what Susan Sontag would have been like if she had brain damage from the internet." She joined q's Tom Power live in studio to tell us more about how the themes of self-distraction and self-deception present themselves in our modern lives.
