Summary: Gerald, a mid-level employee of a New York-based public relations firm, has been uploaded into the company's internal Slack channels. At least his consciousness has. His colleagues assume it is just an elaborate ploy to exploit their lax work-from-home policy. Disembodied and alarmed by the looming abyss of an eternity on-line, Gerald enlists his co-worker Pradeep to find out what happened to his body and help him escape. Slackbot, Slack's AI assistant, helps Gerald navigate his new digital reality. Why is Slackbot so interested in Gerald? And what in the hell does the : dusty-stick: emoji mean? -- adapted from jacket
