From the era-defining author of Generation X comes a novel of
overworked coders who escape the serfdom of Bill Gates to forge their
own path. They are Microserfs—six code-crunching computer whizzes
who spend upward of sixteen hours a day “coding” and eating
“flat” foods (food which, like Kraft singles, can be passed
underneath closed doors) as they fearfully scan company e-mail to
learn whether the great Bill is going to “flame” one of them. But
now there’s a chance to become innovators instead of cogs in the
gargantuan Microsoft machine. The intrepid Microserfs are striking out
on their own—living together in a shared digital flophouse as they
desperately try to cultivate well-rounded lives and find love amid the
dislocated, subhuman whir and buzz of their computer-driven world.
