About this title

Synopsis

Exposes the dark side of the booming technology industry which has thousands of poorly-paid employees working extended hours in cyber-sweatshops.

From the Back Cover

"A Silicon Valley book for the rest of us." - USA Today

"NetSlaves is entertaining and nearly unbelievable. Based on personal interviews with Web workers, it offers humorous and not-so-humorous accounts of long hours, abysmal management skills, and unnecessary pressure on the e-business frontier." - Library Journal, Best Business Books 1999

"Readers who can't bear another glossy magazine profile of Internet IPO kids will welcome this tour through the writhing underbelly of the tech biz...this insider's look at the industry offers an amusing antidote to the media's chronic case of Internet hype." - Publisher's Weekly

NetSlaves offers eyewitness accounts of grueling hours, gross mismanagement, and chronic backstabbing in an industry with no real rules. The truth is not only strager than fiction, it's stranger than "Dilbert" on acide or a Hunter S. Thompson nightmare. This is Studs Terkel's Working for the Web era - jolted with caffeine and spiked withsardonic Michael Moore-ish humor.
