It’s pretty overwritten, but it’s worth it. This book is fascinating in how banal it seems. The work culture described here is so common now, so the book is often inadvertently funny.

As exploitative as it is, it reminded me of some of my fondest work memories and some of my favourite people – lifelong friends because of the pressure and camaraderie of the work environment.

Anyway, I liked this a lot. The book apparently was, in part, inspiration for Halt and Catch Fire, so if you like this, watch that (and vice-versa). It’s also great.

Plus one of the best titles of any book ever.
