Pretty interesting book, although I found it slow to get rolling. Really hooked me in by mid-way. Translation left a tiny bit to be desired I think; it felt stilted. Fascinating examination of work -- what is it, why does it matter, how the relationships we form with co-workers are their own distinct class of thing and reflect the human need for collaboration with people we may well dislike. The AI / scifi plot of it was interesting but I didn't love the resolution; felt rather like the author got herself out on a limb with no way back. Some of the world-building baffled. I did like the Epilogue.
