A “sharp, brilliant interrogation of the way we live now,” Fake Accounts, Oyler’s debut novel, follows  a woman who discovers her boyfriend is an anonymous internet conspiracy theorist. Capturing the “neurotic spirit of a generation,” the way social media has reconfigured the way we relate to the world, this dense, funny and fierce work takes place in New York and Berlin, with a brief detour to Washington, D.C.
