The Facade of Niceness Crumbles John Lanchester's novel, Look What You Made Me Do, is a scathing critique of modern society's obsession with niceness.
On its surface, it's a darkly comedic psychological thriller about two couples whose lives become increasingly entangled in a web of infidelity, obsession, and revenge.
But scratch beneath the façade, and you'll find a searing indictment of our collective performance of niceness.
