Review - Company 6/10

At first I thought to myself that this story is so implausible that I almost could not continue reading it.

The story is about a company and the corporate culture at the company, but the twist is this company is not really a company but actually a case study on corporate productivity. What is really going on is that the company is just a front and the people in the company are being experimented on to see how corporations can maximize productivity from their employers.

How you could possibly keep that a secret so that no one who is working there knows, and no one out side the company knows is beyond me; but this is the premise of the story.

Once you wrestle your brain to get past this elephant in the room, the story telling is not all that bad and at times the story is intriguing and the characters are interesting. Steve Jones is a good lead character and his interaction with Eve is compelling.

Also the story asks an interesting ethical question: What should you do if you know the truth about something, but if you tell someone involved with the truth statement you could ruin their life. If you are compelled to tell them one way or another, do you tell them the truth or do you lie to them?

I believe that in the end, Jones makes the correct choice.
