Impostor Syndrome by Kathy WangRead about the other entries on the list.
The Silicon Valley COO of Tangerine, who has taken her company from tech start-up to powerful conglomerate is, unbeknownst to her husband and everyone else, a Russian spy. Disturbingly, millions use Tangerine for internet searches and messages, much like Google and Meta, and all that information is accessible to her and the Russians. A low-level tech worker at Tangerine discovers her secret, setting in motion a psychological thriller that builds on our justified fears over the misuse of our digital information. Through differing viewpoints that include the two women and a Russian handler, we are privy to what the American dream means to each of them and what they will sacrifice to achieve it, cleverly examining the generational differences between women in present-day workplaces.
