Riassunto

On his first day of training, Stephen Jones, a young recruit, reports to the Zephyr Holding Building, where he finds a company defined by its lack of clarity, a building numbered in reverse, an invisible CEO, and a crisis over the theft of a donut, in a zany satire of corporate life. By the author of Jennifer Government. 40,000 first printing.

“Funny and clever . . . a kind of ad-world version of Dr. Strangelove . . . [Barry] unleashes enough wit and surprise to make his story a total blast.”
—New York Times Book Review

“Barry capitalizes on the strengths of the characters and ends up creating a brilliant finale to a clever story.”
—USA Today

“The plot rockets forward on hyperdrive . . . fresh and very clever.”
—Boston Globe

“Extremely funny . . . Barry is a smart writer with a Cassandra’s gift for dark-edged prognostication.”

L'autore:

MAX BARRY spent the best years of his life in the bowels of Hewlett-Packard, conducting secret research for this book. This is his third novel, following the cult hit Syrup and the bestselling Jennifer Government, which was chosen as a New York Times Notable Book. He was born on March 18, 1973, and lives in Melbourne, Australia. He writes full-time, but enforces a strict dress policy, requires that his desk be kept tidy at all times, and asks that he limit personal calls to less than two minutes.
