Beschreibung
From the era-defining author of Generation X comes a novel of overworked coders who escape the serfdom of Bill Gates to forge their own path.They are Microserfs-six code-crunching computer whizzes who spend upward of sixteen hours a day "e;coding"e; and eating "e;flat"e; foods (food which, like Kraft singles, can be passed underneath closed doors) as they fearfully scan company e-mail to learn whether the great Bill is going to "e;flame"e; one of them. But now there's a chance to become innovators instead of cogs in the gargantuan Microsoft machine. The intrepid Microserfs are striking out on their own-living together in a shared digital flophouse as they desperately try to cultivate well-rounded lives and find love amid the dislocated, subhuman whir and buzz of their computer-driven world.
