Sinossi
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.

Recensione
PRAISE FOR JENNIFER GOVERNMENT
“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
“A wicked and wonderful satire . . . Jennifer Government does just about everything right.”
—Washington Post Book World
“Extremely funny . . . Barry is a smart writer with a Cassandra’s gift for dark-edged prognostication.”
—Time
“A riotous satirical rant . . . [its characters’] excesses . . . make Barry’s world of unregulated corporate greed and unrelenting consumerism so frightening and funny.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“It’s Catch-22 by way of The Matrix.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“A thoroughly modern tale in the tradition of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley.”
—Book
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.
