'Acutely empathetic, thoroughly researched, funny, irreverent and moving' Observer'What a book! Has the lyricism and intelligence of a literary masterpiece, and the urgency of a thriller' Marianne Levy, author of Don't Forget to Scream'So interesting, astute and beautifully crafted. I loved it' Lucy Jones, author of MatrescenceIn the summer of 2020, when Amanda Hess was pregnant for the first time, a routine ultrasound screening detected a mysterious abnormality in her baby. Without hesitation, she reached for her phone, looking for answers online. But rather than allaying her anxieties, her search unleashed a destabilizing onslaught of data and technology, and she was vulnerable - more than ever - to conspiracy, myth, judgement, commerce and obsession.

In Second Life, Hess tells her deeply personal story of a pregnancy that falls outside the fêted category of 'normal'. But this is also a story about all of us. For as she made her way through a bizarre digital world of pregnancy apps, prenatal genetic tests, gender reveal videos, rare disease Facebook groups, 'freebirth' influencers and hospital reality shows, Hess realised that ideas of eugenics, surveillance, ableism and hyper-individualism are being sold through shiny technologies to a new generation of parents.

At once funny, surreal and heartbreaking, Second Life asks compelling questions about how our most fundamental human experiences are fractured and reshaped by technology.

The Best "Stock Up and Save" Find on the Internet! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Size: 7.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6), Scent: Fresh, Size: 7.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 6), Scent: Fresh
If you are tired of overpaying for fancy hand soaps that run out in a week, this Amazon Basics 6-pack of Liquid Hand Soap is the ultimate household hack. It’s simple, effective, and honestly, a total steal. Why this 6-pack is a total winner: The "Original Fresh" Scent: It’s exactly what you want in a hand soap—clean, light, and crisp. It’s not overpowering or flowery; it just smells like a freshly cleaned house. Gentle on Hands: I wash my hands a lot throughout the day, and this formula doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry or cracked. It lathers up perfectly and rinses off clean without that weird "filmy" feeling some cheap soaps have. The Perfect Size: The 7.5 fl oz bottles are the ideal "goldilocks" size. They fit on every sink—from the tiny powder room to the cluttered kitchen counter—without taking up too much space. Bulk Convenience: Buying the 6-pack means I’m not constantly adding soap to my grocery list. I keep one at every sink and have backups ready in the pantry. No more "emergency runs" to the store when a bottle runs dry! The Bottom Line: You don’t need to spend $5 a bottle for clean hands. This Amazon Basics soap does the job perfectly, smells great, and saves you a ton of money over time. It’s a boring purchase that makes life so much easier. Final Verdict: 10/10. Great lather, great scent, and even better price. I’m officially a convert!

Good price
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
Most Amazon basics items are of decent quality and this is no exception. Nothing fancy just a decent hand soap with typical viscosity that will work in just about any dispenser including automatic dispensers. Most importantly it does a good job cleaning the hands without leaving your hands all sticky and gooey after washing. Yeah. That really is a thing. I've used hand soaps that after rinsing and drying your left with "gheco hands" like you can pick up a penny with your knuckle. No chemical or overpowering odor. One odd thing. The original order came in a box that looked like the Amazon loader threw it into the back of the van from about 50 feet away .... The bottles cap was destroyed and the soap had leaked into the box. Amazon quickly replaced the item with a new bottle no charge and didn't expect me to return the damaged bottle of course. Thing is the second box came in the same condition. Looked like the punter for the Ravens drop kicked it from the 30 into the back of the truck. Luckily the bottle was undamaged this time.

Key Features Dermatologist Tested: The formula is tested for safety and is designed to be gentle on the skin.

Light Fragrance: The "Original Fresh" scent is subtle and clean, providing a pleasant washing experience without being overbearingly perfumed.

Great value for your money & smells fresh & cleans well & nice lather
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
I love tits effectiveness to clean & you can also add a pump functionality on it or you can just refill smaller bottles that have a pump which you can also buy here on Amazon or refill your old liquid handsoaps with pump, because this cleans well, nice lather , moisturizing feel & great for sensitive skin, smells fresh. I buy this a lot for my personal use & office use. Great value for your money.

Cleans well and smells fresh, but bottle is hard to pour
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
I’ve been using this hand soap refill for a few weeks now, and overall I’m very happy with it. The soap has a pleasant scent that smells clean without being too strong, and it leaves my hands feeling refreshed instead of dry. I also like that the refill size lasts a long time and saves money compared to buying smaller bottles repeatedly. It lathers nicely and works well for everyday use in the kitchen and bathroom. However, the large refill container can be a little awkward to pour without spilling if you’re not careful. Still, the quality of the soap itself is great, and I would definitely purchase it again.
