American journalist Angela Chen explores the experiences of the asexual community and how asexuality can help us better understand human relationships, sexual desire, and drive.

In a world where everything, from advertising and television to politics and social status, seems to revolve around sex, it's hard to imagine a life not centered around it.

Asexuality has always existed, but the language around it is fairly new — so much so that the 'A' in LGBTQIA+ is often overlooked.

Angela Chen is an American science journalist and editor who identifies as asexual.

In Ace, Chen uses personal experiences and interviews with other members of the asexual, or 'ace,' community to shed light on asexuality and what it can teach us about sex, desire, and society.
