Produktbeschreibung
Cameron Murphy just landed the ultimate dream job. Unfortunately, working at one of the world's largest tech companies is a bit of a nightmare. Now, stuck in the Pacific Northwest with his family in tow, he must sidestep corporate politics, avoid the certifiably-insane and develop a product that will change the world of entertainment forever. Easy, right? But with his wife, Jess, struggling to find her own identity in a wasteland of suburban frigidity, and the corporate algorithm out to get him - becoming a true success might require an awful lot of failure. Inspired by true events, Company of Foos is a whip-smart, pop-culture fueled fable that peels back the curtain on today's most powerful subcultures, laughs at just how they get the job done, and asks what's truly important in life - success or happiness?
