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.
