Microserfs – A Quick Review

[  Mood: Sleepy ]
[ Currently: Trying to read to my son, who likes to randomly flip pages,  ]
Another port that I am expanding.

Microserfs is a wonderful book from Michael Copeland, the wunderkind of Can Lit. It explores the lives a group of Microsoft Employees and the endless drugery of their lives. Until the majority of them jump ship and create a start-up and then tbe novel takes a sharp left turn.

One of the most memorable scene in the book comes early on when one of the characters gets a scathing email from Bill Gates and proceeds to lock himself in his office. His friends become worried when he fails to emmerge after a few days, so they head off to the grocery store to buy flat food that they can slide it under the door.

A wonderful, quirky book.
