Description
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.

Some passages were beautifully written, but the story itself didn’t touch me at all. Most of the time I found it boring and rather tiresome to read. In the end, the novel felt as soulless as most corporations—which was probably the point it was trying to make—yet it conveyed that message in a rather bleak way.
