I cheated! But it is as I said quite difficult to put all my favorites in this questionnaire, and therefore I can not really just any book from the shelf and be at risk from present here grenades like Charlaine Harris, while completely as a consequence of real favorites to mention . remain And definitely in the latter category is Max Barry. Everyone who works in an office should, once Company (German: top priority have read), and anyone with marketing experience Syrup (German: Fukk , but not in the trade): Both books describe frightening plausible, as it would if its own, everyday experience of working in their absurdity even a tiny little would be increased - the result is equally insane, funny and - here is an art - to understand.
And anyone who has ever thought about the logical end result of increasing privatization and thus increasing power of large corporations made against a public body, it should once with Jennifer Government (German: Logoland ) attempt. Again, Barry's fantasy story is terrifying realistic. In the near future, the world's power lies with corporations like Nike, McDonald's, or Shell. While there are still states and also public institutions like the police, but they have minimal opportunities to act, as they too have to work a profit.
In the novel, Nike decided to market a new gym shoe with the fact that being shot in the rush to the new releases people indiscriminately (and supposedly other customers) - this is the desirability of the artificially abbreviated and extremely expensive shoe increased immeasurably. The berauftragte with this action-Nike employees, does not dare to perform well in this reality morally dubious indeed, and goes to the police. This is not about stepping in, but offers itself to carry out the murders and passes the order equal to the NRA. And the titular Jennifer Government (all people who are adversely affected instead of a last name that of her employer) is trying to find in this maze of outsourcing amok MUCH free market economy something with which they can prove a crime Nike.
As I said, the true horror effect is that you ask yourself reading again and again, how likely such a scenario is, and inevitably cause an already existing tendencies in the head, as sponsored by U.S. companies such as textbooks or the BP scandal.
a vision that after reading a long do not let go of everything, and would certainly put himself well on film - only to find sponsors in this case would certainly quite difficult ...
