When you think about it, life at work is quite strange. Many of us spend a large portion of our lives in the presence of people who, if it weren't for the fact that we were hired by the same company, we might never hang out with. Sometimes things go swimmingly, but many times not. Given that we all have different personalities, motivations, and aspirations, it's not surprising that we don't all see eye to eye all the time.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.
