Title: Forget I Told You This Description: Amy Black, a single mother and an aspiring artist in love with calligraphy, dreams of a coveted artist’s residency at the world’s largest social media company, Q. When a stranger asks Amy to transcribe a love letter for him, his disappearance leads her straight to Q — with the chance to style herself a 21st-century soferet—and to a group of data privacy vigilantes who want her to burn Q to the ground. A very contemporary Jewish novel about faith, free will and what it means to believe, Forget I Told You This asks us what it means to see and be seen in a world in which our every move is surveilled.
