Funny and doom-drenched, The Employees chronicles the fate of the Six-Thousand Ship. The human and humanoid crew members complain about their daily tasks in a series of staff reports and memos. When the ship takes on a number of strange objects from the planet New Discovery, the crew becomes strangely and deeply attached to them, even as tensions boil toward mutiny, especially among the humanoids.

An existential look at humanity in the tradition of Rod Serling
Revisado: 06-21-23
The story is told through a series of short, daily interviews with the protagonist (think log entries) who works aboard a commercial vessel transporting unnamed cargo. Those interviewing her are unnamed, but might be executives or scientists working in robotics. The crew is a mix of human and android. The questions asked of the protagonist are not mentioned, only her responses and reflections. It takes close listening to sleuth out what is happening on the ship given the style of narrative, but any fan of Serling’s show and his existentialist writing will enjoy this. The characters in the story may or may not be what they appear to be….or maybe they are?

Better read than listened to
Revisado: 02-17-22
This is a book that is better read and listen to. The plot is somewhat byzantine and there are a lot of characters. I listened to it small chunks during drives to and from work and I lost track of the plot quickly. It’s not a bad story, it just requires focused attention to keep up with the action. I didn’t actually finish listening to the book; by the time I got to last hour I was lost.
