Originally presented as \"meme essays\" on social media, Herrera's densely-written posts covered politics, race, immigration, class, religion and public health. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book presents Herrera's prose chronologically from 2020 to the end of 2023, from a small following to millions of eyes, from celebrity reposts to IRL protest signs. Beyond the viral hits and accolades, \"Post\" sets the stage for a dance of authenticity under the pressures of the digital spotlight.
