How does it feel to use a product that uses you back? Our Doomscroll challenge called for prose and poetry about living with social media, algorithms, and digital footprints. We’re pleased to announce our finalists, whose work spans a satirical essay on virality, a meditative poem about masculinity and online dating, and a flash fiction piece about grief in the digital age. We will publish their work online at the end of September!
