![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While various discussions involving work and personal life occur, it becomes obvious that Gerald, a fairly non-descript employee, has been working exceptionally hard over recent weeks. Narrated exclusively through the medium of Slack conversations, Several People… is set in an unnamed public relations firm in New York City which has taken on the job of rehabilitating the image of a dog food company who have recalled tins due to allegations about poison getting into the food. In other words, the perfect setting for a novel. Once brilliantly parodied in ‘Black Books’ as a lifeless entity which consists of other pretending to know what they are doing, it is a vacuum of bureaucracy, playground rivalries and ever shrinking boundaries between work life and personal life. Christopher Owens □ There are fewer dystopias more acutely felt by readers than the modern office. ![]()
