LAB RATS
Tech Gurus, Junk Science, & Management Fads—My Quest to Make Work Less Miserable
The New York Times bestselling author of Disrupted is back with an expansive exploration of the modern workplace and how it went so wrong, and how workers can escape the maze with their health and dignity intact.
In this ambitious new work, Lyons is filling a gap: there hasn’t yet been a major book that takes a journalistic approach to examining the world of work and modern corporate culture, as re-imagined by Heinlein-ian tech oligarchs and their analog brethren: imperiled traditional companies prone to adopting the worst of their practices. LAB RATS is a work of reportage with Lyons as the tour guide, bringing his unique sense of the absurd as he looks into how we’ve landed in the maze, who’s running the experiments and where it leads.
Corporate culture needs this book—not just for commiseration, but to better understand what’s going on. Lyons’s razor-sharp comedic skills and self-awareness are exactly what’s needed to make it an entertaining, balanced act that gets at the serious underpinning of the working world run amok.
