Super, und dir?

Marlene Beckmann is 31 and living the life she once wished for. Asked how she's doing, she has a stock answer: "Super, und dir?" On the surface she has everything under control — until she starts her first real job as a social media manager at a multinational company.

As the overtime piles up and her private life disappears, the pressure to perform, to be endlessly available, and to optimize every part of herself becomes too much to sustain. Kathrin Weßling's Super, und dir? is a sharp, unsparing German-language novel about replaceability, burnout, and a generation raised to believe self-optimization is the answer to precarity.
