Content snapshot

Flag an inaccuracy →

What's in this book, at a glance — five things readers want to know before they start.

Violence

Some

Little physical violence; the danger is engineered rather than inflicted, though the book builds toward a genuinely threatening climax

Language

Some

Moderate profanity in Jess's first-person voice

Sexual Content

A lot

Sexual assault is a flagged content warning, and the study's later assignments involve Jess being directed into sexual situations with a stranger

Substance Use

A lot

Alcoholism and drug references appear as flagged warnings, including a doctor's access to medication

Emotional Intensity

Manipulation and psychological control are the entire subject: readers flag mental health content, self-harm, suicide references and infidelity, with a therapist deliberately dismantling a research subject's autonomy

What this book is about

Jessica Farris slips into a NYU study on ethical decision-making for the money. Subject 52's answers interest Dr Shields more than anyone else's, and the study starts moving out of the questionnaire and into Jess's life — assignments, clothes, and eventually people she is asked to test.
