Company

Max Barry is, IMHO, one of the best young authors around.
I mean, it doesn’t talk about rocket science or write deep and long philosophical dissertations, but his books are very funny and make a great read for when you’d just like to sit down and enjoy a good read for a couple of hours.
In each of his novels, Barry has a look at society from different viewpoints. It was marketing in his first two novels — Syrup and Jennifer Government — and now it’s the enterprise world.
Company is a very funny and clever account of what happens in a big company.
Sure enough, in Barry-esque style, everything is brought to exaggeration, which is, I guess, how the author tries to deliver his message.
What I mean, is that yes, he exaggerates, but not bringing the story to something unbelievable or that could never happen, it’s like if he’s having a look at where we’re heading.
Again, if you’re in for a light, yet interesting read, just give it a try. :)
