Crosley utilizes the conceit of the "cult" to satirize the contemporary wellness industry and our obsession with digital curation. The novel posits that we are all, in a sense, members of the cult of our own pasts—constantly relitigating old arguments and romanticizing ghosts.

It is a witty, intellectual look at why we look back, and what we lose when we try to manufacture the perfect ending.
