‘The Employees: A Workplace Novel of the 22nd Century’ by Olga Ravn

This was a slightly strange read.

It’s written as a series of witness statements compiled in a workplace investigation. The crew of the Six-Thousand Ship consists of humans and humanoids. The ship visits a new planet called New Discovery and take on board a number of strange alien objects.

The novel explores the reactions of the humans and humanoids to these strange objects. They start to become deeply attached to them and leads to the employees questioning what it means to be truly living.

I think I liked it…but I’m not entirely sure…
