Generation X technical whiz, Jack Cooper is an unemployed, workplace dinosaur. Grumpy and sarcastic, he would rather seal his eyes with sticky notes than work in an office full of Gen Y and Z hipsters harping on about dancing-baby gifs.So when Jack's pregnant daughter finds him a job at an ultra-cool, tech firm, he expects nothing more than a painful drowning beneath company values and a rapid descent to the bottom of a gin bottle. Yet Jack needs the money. His wife is pushing for a divorce, his single daughter will soon deliver a grandchild, and his embarrassing son suffers from a grizzly identity confusion.How will Jack lift himself from his angry 1980s nostalgia and halt his slide into drunken, divorced loneliness? And how will he remain sane while bombarded by Instant Messages, smiley-faced poos, and the constant celebration of mediocrity?XYZ is a funny, well-observed and wry novel, from Former BBC and Guardian writer, William Knight. Like the "good Nick Hornby books", it's essential reading for anyone in the workplace over 40, and a handbook for those cocky bastards who are not."If you are into satire, cynicism and dry humor, then this one is for you."readinggirlreviews.com"I laughed and laughed. Jazz Hands. Yay."Tony (Gen Y)"Finished. Loved it. LOLLED OVER AND OVER."Ken (Boomer)
"Powerfully written and thought-provoking. Highly recommended." The Wishing Shelf Book AwardsWhen combat veteran turned journalist Hendrix Harrison links bodies stolen from a forensic research enclosure to a powerful pharmaceutical company, he suspects fraudulent manipulation of clinical trials. With the help of Doctor Sarah Wallace, a determined forensic entomologist, he delves into a world of grisly drug tests, misguided scientists and desperate patients pursuing miraculous promises. But with murderous interests arrayed against him, Harrison must use his old training, and battle his fear of technology, to expose the macabre price of donating your body to science.
At the pinnacle of his law career, Christian Jarvik is on the brink of a major technology deal that promises wealth and security for his family. During a reunion with an old friend, he receives a fortune-telling from an Artificially Intelligent app. He dismisses the reading as a gimmick, but when the app foretells details of his business deal he is suddenly haunted by the darkening significance of its prophecies. Is his friend manipulating the readings? Can the app really know his most deeply held secrets? He attempts to regain control of his future, but his actions cause the very events he struggles to avoid. He descends into a paranoid obsession. Only Jarvik suspects the secret behind his persecution. But will pursuing the truth risk the destruction of everything he knows and loves?
