Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Axiom AI is the fastest-growing enterprise AI company in the country. Six billion dollar valuation. Fourteen hundred employees. A CEO named Vaughn Kessler whose entire management philosophy is one sentence: My job is to apply pressure. That's it. That's the whole job.What none of them know is that Vaughn has built a second AI. A secret one. It runs silently inside the company, ingesting every Slack message, every badge swipe, every keystroke. It assigns every employee a score between 1 and 100. The people who score high are called Barrels. The people who score low are called Ammunition. And in three weeks, three hundred and forty Ammunition are going to be escorted out of the building with cardboard boxes and a severance package, because the algorithm said so.Except the algorithm is wrong.Brian Wade is a custodian. Former Army logistics sergeant. ARC score: 12. He has been quietly photographing things for three months.Jada Simmons is a Tier 1 support rep. The invisible engine keeping a four-million-dollar client from walking. ARC score: 19. She has been documenting every single time her work was stolen and credited to someone else. She calls the folder The Receipts.Chris Chen is an intern. A first-generation college student who thinks in systems and can't stop seeing the architecture under the surface. ARC score: 8. The lowest in the company.When Brian finds Jada in the parking lot at eleven o'clock on a Wednesday night, the three of them are going to discover what the algorithm cannot see. They are going to build a counter-model. And at the next quarterly all-hands, in front of a thousand employees and the entire executive team, they are going to detonate every assumption this company has ever made about who matters and who doesn't.THE BARRELS is a corporate thriller about Silicon Valley's favorite metaphor and the three people it couldn't measure. For readers of The Circle, Severance, and The Warehouse. A novel about visibility, value, and the difference between the people who do the work and the people who hold it up for everyone to see."The world is full of people who take and people who make. The takers always look more important because they're the ones holding things up for everyone to see. But the makers are the ones who built everything they're holding." This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
