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. Olga Ravn's prose is chilling, crackling, exhilarating, and foreboding. The Employees probes into what makes us human, while delivering a hilariously stinging critique of life governed by the logic of productivity. 650 7 $a FICTION / World Literature / Denmark $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FIC019000 $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Literary $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Fiction: general & literary $2 thema 650 7 $a Science fiction $2 thema 650 7 $a Science fiction: Space opera $2 thema 700 1 $a Aitken, Martin, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011208.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E72D6C4BB4F11EE9799A7D243ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
