This was a bit of a dense read, to be honest. I was intrigued by the title and hoped for something ripping capitalism a new one, but that’s not what I got. I usually don’t pick up memoirs or business related reads, but again, the title drew me in. I expected a good roasting of capitalist corporate America. What I got was the philosophical musings about mundane corporate life during Y2K and the dot com bubble. Not that it didn’t have some good quotable moments or interesting perspectives. Ultimately, I could only get through half it before I had to put it down. This book may have an audience out there, but I am not it.

A humorous take on the state of the work/life balance in modern society. La Berge's clever writing makes for a good read. While I have never worked in a corporate job (or a fake corporate job) I related more than I expected.

A funny, fascinating memoir about modern big business and treading water under capitalism. I'm a big fan of highlight the often absurd practices that exist behind the shining gloss of modern corporations so this was a very fun read!
