Now in paperback, The Employees chronicles the fate of the
interstellar Six-Thousand Ship. The human and humanoid crew members
complain about their daily tasks in a series of staff reports and memos.
When the ship takes on a number of strange objects from the planet New
Discovery, the crew becomes strangely and deeply attached to them, even
as tensions boil toward mutiny, especially among the humanoids.
Olga Ravn's prose is chilling, crackling, exhilarating, and foreboding.
The Employees probes into what makes us human, while delivering a
hilariously stinging critique of life governed by the logic of
productivity.
