I rarely recommend the audio version of a book over any other, but the full-cast audio version of Several People Are Typing is such a wonderful experience. Worth it if you've got less than 4 hours and space to laugh out loud while you listen.

This is an almost painfully accurate recreation of the remote work environment, with a few subtle differences. Having made my fair share of jokes about "uploading myself to the cloud" this was an absolute treat to read, with great jokes, a quick-moving plot, and a sweet ending. Poor Lydia, though!

This is one of those gimmicky books that will almost immediately become dated (it's an epistolary novel composed entirely of slack messages) but I really enjoyed it. The main characters work for a PR company serving luminaries such as a dog food company involved in a poisoning incident and an ambassador who had a "childcare emergency" at the zoo. Some of the stuff about the internet and witnessing all these little parts of people's lives really hit home too. Most of the surreal elements worked really well.

This book is so cool. Can't really explain without spoiling, but I sped through it in like an hour or something? Really entertaining.
