New TikTok Account by Casey Garfield is a brilliant act of digital fieldwork, transcribing the contemporary feed with such exactness that banality curdles into horror, comedy, and social diagnosis. Structured across five dated sections covering January 19th and 20th 2025, the book turns the For You page into a fractured epic of scams, grief, hustle culture, nationalism, animal videos, conspiracy, loneliness, and algorithmically flattened attention, all rendered in a deadpan prose that never needs to editorialise because the feed does it for itself. The result is both documentary and poem, an anatomy of platformed life in which every clip feels trivial until, accumulated, they reveal a culture shaped by precarity, spectacle, monetisation, and endless, eerie performance.
