Cederstrom and Fleming, like a present day Virgil, bravely venture into an underworld full of shades whose entire lives have been put to work, who throw themselves heart and soul into the job, and who are constantly implored by management gurus to 'be themselves,' 'feel free,' and 'have fun' in the office. This fascinating and dark little book is an excellent and disturbing introduction to what increasingly large realms of the world of work have become. (Michael Hardt, Co-author of Empire, Multitude, and Commonwealth) What has work done to us? Cederstrom and Fleming's brilliant dark and witty book tells us the truth. Working in our sleep? Dressing up as infants? Deprivation tank addiction? Fitness centrers? Suicide? Email? If you didn't already know what work has made you become then this book might have a devastating effect on your life. Read it! (Simon Critchley, Hans Jonas Professor, New School for Social Research)
