sisa_moyo's review against another edition

It was an intriguing concept with a lot of criticisms and ponderings on the evils of capitalism and the many various things that count as a job in this system.
About a man who works as a “restructuring consultant” for the Company, and is doing a killer job. (pun intended) 
But I felt there was something missing and incomplete about the whole story. There were questions left unanswered that were not satisfactorily addressed for me - the who and whats of the Company for example. 
And because the main character did not know, we too will never know so it just felt incomplete for me.
