Company by Max Barry

Saturday February 18, 2006

When bright-eyed and freshly starched Stephen Jones arrives at Zephyr Holdings just out of business school, he finds something amiss. And it's not just the missing donut, the hamster wheel mentality of the employees, or the fact that the receptionist is entirely too gorgeous and overpaid to actually be a receptionist. It's that no one really knows what Zephyr does.

In Company, Australian satirist, Max Barry delivers a smart send-up of corporate culture that will make you laugh your action items right off your plate.
