Alex McElroy’s The Atmospherians (2021) is a satirical novel set at the intersection of internet culture and self-improvement. Sasha Marcus, once famous online, has lost everything after a public scandal. Her friend Dyson convinces her to help run a retreat in the New Mexico desert where angry, internet-poisoned men will be reformed through an improvised program of labor, therapy, and performance.
The novel plays the premise for both comedy and discomfort, examining how easily communities of purpose can slide into something cultish, and how the desire to fix other people often masks a refusal to confront yourself.
