'The Office' meets 'Microserfs' in one of the strangest and hilariously funny love stories you will ever read. '21 Dog Years' is the wickedly funny story of life in the frontline from the world's first dot.comic.
In 1998, when Amazon.com went to temp agencies to recruit people, they gave them a simple directive: send us your freaks. Thus began Mike Daisey's love affair with the world's biggest bookstore.
Mike Daisey worked at Amazon.com for nearly three years during the dotcom frenzy of the late nineties. Now that his non-disclosure agreement has expired, he can tell the real story of tech culture, hero worship, cat litter, Albanian economics and venture capitalism that fed into the delusional cocktail exulted as the New Economy.
His ascent from lowly temp to customer service representative to business development hustler is the stuff of dreams - and nightmares. No wonder Newsweek has dubbed Daisey the "oracle of the bust". With a hugely popular website, mikedaisey.com, and a hit one-man show that has received phenomenal coverage, Michael Daisey has been called the first dot.comic and the Michael Moore of the net generation.
