Las Vegas is a collection of contradictions. An oasis of hospitality; a labyrinthian casino. A poolside cabana; heatstroke on a sidewalk. A jackpot; an empty bank account. It’s the greatest night of your life; it’s the worst mistake you’ve ever made. Still, most people come here in search of the same thing: a good time. In 2015, I moved from the woods of Montana into an apartment directly behind a Las Vegas casino, as one does.

Sono seduta in auto nel parcheggio di Costco, grande catena di ipermercati all’ingrosso qui negli Stati Uniti. Intanto fisso la app di Instacart, azienda che si occupa del ritiro e della consegna di prodotti freschi e alta qualità.

I’m sitting in a Costco parking lot, staring at my Instacart app. It’s my first week as a shopper, and all morning long, I’ve been at supermarkets in the sprawling, affluent community of Summerlin, Nevada, locations where the algorithm has detected a high likelihood that a customer will enlist my services. Except no one has, which means I’m currently making less than the $22 I spent on the insulated grocery bag Instacart recommended as part of its “best practices.” I have 18 miles of gas left.
