A satirical survival manual 'for anyone unfortunate to have to work for a living'. Ivor Catt is an electronics engineer who has mainly worked in the USA. In this book he was critical of the hire and fire culture, which he labeled the New Social Darwinism, and accused American employers of stifling their workers' creativity. The book got largely negative reviews, with Kirkus Reviews describing it as a contrived and often muddled work that rested on 'one man's bitter and limited experience'. Signed by Author(s).
