Net Slaves: True Tales of Working the Web, offers eyewitness
accounts of grueling hours, gross mismanagement, and chronic
backstabbing in an industry with no real rules. The truth is not
only stranger than fiction; its stranger than Dilbert on acid or
a Hunter Thompson nightmare. Meet:
A help desk worker overwhelmed by customer e-mail, who finds
himself drawn to the elegant solution of the delete key
An engineer at the worlds largest chip manufacturer, fired after
his health is destroyed by overwork, who decides upon a gloriously
futile gesture
A freelancer who is made the fall guy by her bosses after faulty
software posts the wrong verdict at the end of the O.J. trial
A mail-order machiavelli who earns millions selling cut-rates PCs
that spontaneously combust and interfere with airplane navigation
.
