The Working-Life Novels

Three series about the institutions of work — the modern office, the layoff, and the cult of productivity — and what each quietly does to a life. Separate from the colonies of The Thirteen Fractures, they share the same method: fiction built on the public record, every corporation invented.

Every statistic is real. Every corporation is fictional. The distance is the point.
