Time to find a new cleaning place. Wish I noticed before I left the house wearing it!
John turned and fled. Jennifer took off after him. Max Synergy and the US Alliance suits just stood there. This, she discovered, was a common thread to the next four and a half minutes: office workers standing around gaping while she and John zipped past them. John was screaming for the NRA or security or anyone with a gun, please, but there was not a lot of action from the suits and skirts at US Alliance. Companies claimed to be highly responsive, Jennifer thought, but you only had to chase a screaming man through their offices to realize it wasn’t true.
It’s a smart and funny book; I just read it on my kindle… it’s a real button-presser, or page-turner, or whatever the phrase is now.
John said, “You know what makes a successful executive?”
“Dude, I am a successful executive.”
“Decisiveness,” he said. The doors slid open. A man in a briefcase was standing there; he raised his eyebrows. John pointed the gun at the man’s leg and squeezed the trigger. It was louder than he’d expected.
“Holy shit! the kid said.
“Also, implementation skills,” John said, and left the elevator
The book is a nicely paced absurd satire exploring the extreme free market. Loved it and will re-read soon.

It’s an accident: At the gym, on an exercise bike; Jennifer Government on the kindle on the bike’s book rest, iPhone playing the score from The Orange Box.
Just started the chapter where Violet is getting ready to “storm the castle” at the same moment the Team Fortress 2 score begins… And it became the score to the chapter.
It fits beautifully. Full of tension and angst and anticipation… The score & the passage. Together, the image painted in my head was more powerful than any book has ever before evoked.
The Printed Word will morph into the Scored Word. Soundtrack-ing will become part of the typesetting and layout process. And inspired readers will score thier favorites independently and share the resulting iScoreBook mix.
There will be satirical and moving and celestial and techno scores that bring new dimension to the Bible, Catch-22, Gone With the Wind, all of Tom Clancy’s & John Grisham’s books, and articles from Time, Newsweek, People, and The New York Times.
There will be critics of the Scored Word, fighting to keep the imagination pure, and proponents who will argue that they can bring more context than ever to their works, and there will be the masses who simply vote with the use of their headphones.
It is a beautiful future.
