To keep it short, we follow the story of Angie, a data analyst with more than twenty years of experience who uses her position in the world's largest social networking company, Tomo, to track down domestic abusers and “takes care” of the true monsters. Regardless of which side of the fence William Hertling may find himself on, in his novel Kill Process he certainly manages to place the spotlight on both the positives and negatives of our digital development. There are some who applaud these advances and claim them to herald a new golden age for technological progress, while on the other hand there are those who pay more attention to the dangers involved. We are experiencing an accelerated cultural evolution, to the point where we may very well be the first people who have the ability to feel nostalgic about memories from only five or ten years ago, the first to see countless inventions become obsolete one year after the next. However, fast forward to today and it's impossible to imagine a world that isn't dominated by Facebook feeds, Twitter posts, Instagram snaps and whatever else we may have. A mere few years ago the term social networks wasn't even a thing because there was really only one, MySpace, and the relative few who used it (at least in comparison to today's social networkers) didn't give it all that much thought or importance.
