Fake Work

Here, Leigh Claire La Berge reflects on her stint at one of the most prestigious management consulting firms in the country and what it teaches us about the absurdity of work. It blends memoir with post-facto theoretical interjections on the philosophical problems posed by contemporary corporate culture, from the inadequacy of poststructuralist inquiry to the alienation of office jobs, to tell the story of the techno-armageddon that wasn't.
