Book
Several people are typing : a novel / Calvin Kasulke.
Gerald, a mid-level employee of a New York-based public relations firm, has been uploaded into the company's internal Slack channels--at least his consciousness has. His colleagues assume it's an elaborate gag to exploit the new work-from-home policy, but now that Gerald's productivity is through the roof, his bosses are only too happy to let him work from... wherever he says he is. Faced with the looming abyss of a disembodied life online, Gerald enlists his coworker to help him escape and to find out what happened to his body. But the longer Gerald stays in the void, the more alluring and absurd his reality becomes. Meanwhile, Gerald's colleagues have PR catastrophes of their own to handle in the real world. And if Gerald gets to work from home all the time, whey can't everyone? Is true love possible between two people when one is just a line of text in an app? And what the hell does the :dusty stick: emoji mean? -- Provided by publisher.
