The Time Seller: A Business Satire

The Time Seller, the second book of business fiction from Fernando Trias de Bes—author of the international acclaimed bestseller Good Luck—is not your standard business model book nor a "get with the program" corporate drone story. It breaks the mold and offers a funny (and perhaps existential) meditation on time, work, meaning, and the true costs of "selling out" to the system. Trias de Bes has written an acerbic commentary that seeks to awaken those bound to a routine that has become the source of alienation.
