From a New York Times review by Jennifer Szalai of the book by Kerry Howley titled “Bottoms Up and the Devil Laughs: A Journey Through the Deep State”:

The people in Kerry Howley’s new book include fabulists, truth tellers, combatants, whistle-blowers. Like many of us, they have left traces of themselves in the digital ether by making a phone call, texting a friend, looking up something online. Certain conveniences have become so frictionless that we reflexively entrust devices with mundane yet intimate secrets: group-chat gossip, numbers of steps taken, dumb selfies.
