On the palm of a retweet

Book title: On the Palm of Retweet Author: Zainab Al-Khudair Publisher: Maskelyani Number of pages: 144 Book genre: Novel Summary of the book: In this novel, we are faced with stories that the writer captures from memory, from the present Arab world, and from the global transformation to build room after room similar to Twitter rooms or as bird nests are built. It is a story of money and business, questions of identity, and the story of tweets or the virtual world that turned humans into voracious and fragile virtual beings, in conflict with themselves and others, fighting an illusory war for quick and fake positioning. It is the story of the human enigma who turned life into a battlefield of crime, fraud, and money laundering. On the palm of retweet, or the demon of the era, we stand before a cracked mirror in which we do not see our false and virtual faces. We contemplate it with pain and amazement at our exhausted memory that headaches and our impending ruin threaten. We ask the most important question: why has our fast-paced life become just a collection of images, a collection of images that the virtual world passes around in chaos of origin and imitation, not to make us happy or reconcile us with our values, but to deepen our alienation and loss, and to intensify psychological, social, and human despair?
