Thanks to Doubleday Books for the free advance copy of this book.

- SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE TYPING is one of the most absurd books I've ever read and I loved every minute of it. It's told entirely through Slack chats, but I think you'll get it even if you've never used that platform.
- Gerald's company is a PR firm, and as someone who works in digital marketing, some of the jokes were a liiiiitle too real, wow yikes!
- It's hilarious in the way that having an existential crisis is...does that make sense? I promise it's fun, please read it and then report back about what you think using the :dusty stick: emoji implies.
- Also, now I'm going to worry about Slackbot gaining consciousness forever, thanks.
