Made For Love by Alissa Nutting

A sharp, darkly comic near-future story about a woman who escapes a decade-long marriage to a controlling tech billionaire only to discover he’s been monitoring and manipulating her with invasive technology; she retreats to her eccentric, emotionally fragile father while the husband uses corporate power, surveillance and manufactured companionship to try to reclaim her. Part satire of Silicon Valley hubris and part psychological fable, the novel skewers the commodification of intimacy and probes questions of identity, autonomy and the human cost of being constantly connected, mixing surreal set pieces with surprisingly raw emotional stakes.

The 17152nd greatest book of all time
