 Super quick reading E-pistolary office cyberpunk horror-comedy. Reminded me a bit of other recent office-set weird novels, such as The Other Black Girl, I Am Not A Wolf, & Ling Ma’s Severance.  Several People are Typing could have been much bleaker than it was. This book makes me glad that my work doesn’t use slack, & that they’ve never cared if people work from home permanently. I was kind of on the edge of my seat towards the end.
