21 DOG YEARS: DOING TIME @ AMAZON.COM
Mike Daisey
Free Press, Jun 2002, $23.00, 222 pp.
ISBN: 0743225805
In 1998, to his horror Mike Daisey realized he needed a job if he was to support his habits of visiting cafes and participating in theater. When Amazon.com offered work, Mike accepted figuring this new adventure was perfect for a professional slacker (not hacker) like him. Mike tells his adventures as a lousy employee at the firm. He takes no prisoners as he deletes management and the entire dot com community with its so-called new economy. However, while doing what others have done before him, Mike also tears himself down with self-deprecating humor. Except for an unnecessary, out of character nasty "email" at the end, 21 DOG YEARS: DOING TIME @ AMAZON.COM is an amusing, meandering look sort of like a twist to the movie "Office Space.com".
