Company

By Max Barry

Categories: Humor & Entertainment, Literature & Fiction

Stephen Jones is a new hire at Zephyr Holdings, a bland corporate monolith where the receptionist is paid twice as much as anyone else to do nothing and the sales team treats self-help books as manuals. Nobody has seen the CEO, and nobody knows exactly what the company sells. Max Barry's 2006 satirical novel follows Jones as missing doughnuts spark office intrigue and his curiosity leads him deeper into the logic of company policy.
