There are probably better things to say about this story, but all I can think about is how hecking believable it is. Flooding an office to ~increase productivity~? Sounds like any other standard capitalism thing.

A quick read that treads the recognisable world of work with an absurd and witty twist. Weird, watery and wonderful.

So witty, so clever. Loved the metaphors great and small, and the absurdity was perfectly pitched.

perfectly-proportioned absurdism, glittering with sharp observations of corporate life.

This little novella does not hold back! It's terribly funny while also being thoughtful and having a lot to say. I especially love the way that as the water rises in Rose's workplace so does the book's absurdity. This gradual build kept me turning the pages and wondering what insane place we would end up in the final chapter. I absolutely adored the ending: a pure delight all the way through <3
