Futureface by Alex Wagner
How Modern Beauty Secrets Made Us Who We Are
A probing blend of cultural reporting, history and memoir that examines how appearance shapes power, opportunity and identity in the modern world; it traces the science, economics and politics behind beauty standards—from plastic surgery and cosmetics to race, gender, immigration, social media and surveillance—while weaving in the author’s own mixed‑race family experiences to show how looks are managed, commodified and governed, and arguing that who we are perceived to be has profound social and civic consequences.
