PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Stanley Bing is a bestselling fiction and nonfiction writer, and a longtime columnist for Esquire, Fortune, and many other national publications. He is the author of almost a dozen books that explore the boundaries of hard-nosed, practical business strategy and satire. These include Crazy Bosses, which, in mapping the relationship between pathology and power, predicted so much of the current political climate; What Would Machiavelli Do, which addressed why mean people often do better than nice ones; and most recently a comprehensive replacement for the traditional MBA program, The Curriculum. His three novels are Lloyd: What Happened, You Look Nice Today, and Immortal Life.
Bing has been poking fun at business for decades, and his satire of absurd gadgets, virtual life and techno-billionaires flips all the right switches. -- The Washington Post The well-known, pseudonymous author Stanley Bing has written a suspenseful, sharp-eyed, and entertaining tale for our artificially intelligent times. Immortal Life has its finger on the pulse of a generation determined to live forever. -- Christopher Buckley, author of The Relic Master Leaves the reader convulsing with laughter. -- USA Today Wildly entertaining. -- Publishers Weekly Bing uses a light touch, biting mockery of Silicon Valley culture, and grotesque imagery to good effect. -- Kirkus Reviews Stimulating, satirical and perhaps even visionary. --Wall Street Journal A rattling good yarn....an engaging and cautionary tale about the direction in which spaceship Earth is hurtling....Bing's unsettling account of the future is leavened with wry humor and satire. His job is not to be a seer but rather to conjure an entertaining narrative, one that periodically lends itself to commentary on the planet's present plight. -- USA Today
