Overview
A bold and engrossing exploration of replacement—professional, romantic, and political—and the anxiety it stokes in our ever-shifting cultural landscape
Fear of being replaced has come to define the late-capitalist psyche. In an age of gig work and AI, more and more workers are threatened with replacement; dating apps present both limitless choice and limitless competition; demagogues stoke racist paranoia through myths of a ‘great replacement’ by immigrant populations. As we reach a collective breaking point, how do we navigate modern life's ship of Theseus's and reclaim our agency?
In this wide-ranging exploration, Amber Husain braids art, literature, philosophy, and politics to ask how we might turn our fears of replaceability into a collective strength. Radical, clear-sighted, and moving, Replace Me examines both the terror and the allure in fantasies of infinite replacement.
