Drawing on social psychology, digital economics, and cultural theory, Anna Lysandre dismantles the illusion that online exposure equals empowerment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcross eight chapters and an epilogue, the book traces the evolution of \"digital sex work\" from apparent liberation to a sophisticated system of control. It analyses how algorithms reward self-objectification, how agencies and investors industrialize desire, and how entire generations are educated by the logic of visibility. Through interviews and composite testimonies, Lysandre reveals the hidden costs-psychological fatigue, loss of privacy, and the erosion of interior life-behind the glossy promise of freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart social commentary, part psychological essay, this work maps the emotional and economic architecture of the attention economy.
