Second Life by Amanda Hess
Having a Child in the Digital Age
When journalist Amanda Hess becomes pregnant, a routine ultrasound and her online searches pull her into the fraught landscape of digital parenting. She examines how apps, prenatal tests, social media groups, and algorithmic attention amplify fear, judgment, and choices, and connects those experiences to longer histories like eugenics and surveillance. The book is a personal, clear-eyed look at how the internet reshapes pregnancy and early parenthood.
