Theirs, as members of Gen Z, is big tech, or “the Wild West of the internet,” as Stenberg puts it.
It’s a biting satire that dissects a culture that breeds a self-righteous sensibility that can be — unfairly, solely — pinned on Gen Z. “I’ve been canceled so many times,” Stenberg half-jokes to Schafer during their conversation over Zoom, in which both of them squeal with delight several times at the mere sight of the other.
Hunter: There’s not necessarily one likable character that I think the audience is supposed to side with, right? You’re not really sure who to trust. Hunter: The ego death! Do you feel an overlap with Sophie at all, as far as her demons and your demons? Or your angels and Sophie’s angels? How easy was it for you to step into her?

Photo: Lea Winkler Hunter: That’s something you know maybe better than many people in our generation. Hunter: It’s our beast to tame. I don’t think anybody feels like, Oh yeah, I love our Gen-Z culture with all this righteous shit going on. But very few are bold enough to be like, Fuck it, or I’m exempting myself from this because, still, we live in it.
Then there are folks on the far left who think that I have done things that have not been inclusive, or that I have unfairly taken up space within media, or that I’m in cahoots with the entertainment industry when it comes to representation of Blackness. These are all things that I cannot control and also that don’t have much to do with me. If we lived in a culture in which people read or listened, then I think I would care a lot more.
Amandla: I never really thought about Sophie’s addiction in the context of her queerness. I never really think about addiction in the context of self-identifiers or just identifications of self. I definitely did think, however, about Sophie’s position within her friend group. She lives within a group of people with an immense amount of privilege. She too has an immense amount of privilege and an immense amount of wealth.
