Sales, an award-winning journalist and single mom, became a leading critic of the online dating industry, reporting and writing articles and making her directorial debut with the HBO documentary \u003ci\u003eSwiped: Hooking Up in the Digital Age\u003c\/i\u003e. Meanwhile, she was dating a series of younger men, eventually falling in love with a man less than half her age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNothing Personal\u003c\/i\u003e is Sales's memoir of coming-of-middle-age in the midst of a new dating revolution. She is unsparingly honest about her own experience of addiction to dating apps and hilarious in her musings about dick pics, sexting, dating FOMO, and more. Does Big Dating really want us to find love, she asks, or just keep on using its apps? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e​Fiercely feminist, \u003ci\u003eNothing Personal\u003c\/i\u003e investigates how Big Dating has overwhelmed the landscape of dating, cynically profiting off its users' deepest needs and desires. Looking back through the history of modern courtship and her own relationships, Sales examines how sexism has always been a factor for women in dating, and asks what the future of courtship will bring, if left to the designs of Silicon Valley's tech giants--especially in a time of social distancing and a global pandemic, when the rules of romance are once again changing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNancy Jo Sales \u003c\/b\u003eis the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eAmerican Girls: Social Media and the Secret Lives of Teenagers \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Bling Ring: How a Gang of Fame-Obsessed Teens Ripped Off Hollywood and Shocked the World\u003c\/i\u003e.
