If you've ever had the displeasure of using Slack or Discord to converse with your coworkers, this book's for you. It's equal parts hilarious and thought provoking. Well worth the short read!

I’m just a bot though!
Gerald doesn’t have legs anymore, he’s trapped inside Slack!

This is the funniest book I've ever read. If you spend any work time on Slack (or just on the internet in general), it's worth a read. I laughed out loud, something I never do when reading.

What the fuck did I just read? 2 hours of my life I will never get back and the fact that a book like this is published by a major publisher is an embarrassment. Nobody should be subjected to this awful “book”. Aside from 2-3 funny lines within it, this book is a giant stinker. I’d give it zero stars if I could.
Review (and possible ratings tweak) to come.
Sweet, fun, fast throwaway read. I’d say four stars except I wouldn’t want that interpreted as a recommendation to buy because it’s literally like reading a Slack thread. But it was a great pull from the local library. Funny times we live in.
