Terms of Service

Anora meets Uncanny Valley in this piercing and erudite memoir in which the author becomes both an escort and an employee for the CEO of a major tech company.

For fans of Naomi Klein and Mellisa Febos, Terms of Service is a thrilling work-love story from one of this moment's most compelling feminist artists and critics.

At the tail end of 2021 in Manhattan, artist and writer Sophia Giovannitti and her dear friend/new love, Agnes, are hired as sex workers by an obscenely wealthy tech CEO, Luke. Soon, he mints them as creative directors inside his web3 startup, while keeping them on as escorts all the same. By day, the trio maintain appearances and corporate-speak in his midtown office; by night, they have disarming threesomes in luxury hotel suites. The arrangement works—until it doesn’t. Giovannitti’s singular, fracturing experience becomes a remarkable mirror to the ways we live today: in thrall to capricious tech overlords; tending to intimacies that become indistinguishable from marketing strategies; terribly complicit in our own self-extraction.


Through honest, ruthless observation, Giovannitti grapples with power and humiliation, with consent in the age of digital capital, with desire and jealousy, and with the contradictory choices women make.
