This book is wholly original and laugh out loud funny. And there were some really heartfelt and tender moments/observations mixed in. A really poetic, strange, and existential musing on how to remain human in a world that encourages you to sacrifice yourself for workplace productivity. Several People Are Typing is exactly what satire should be.

Carmen Maria Machado's review sums it up perfectly: "An absurd, hilarious romp through the haunted house of late-stage capitalism."
