註釋

Byron is a poet. And he knows it. But he's unable to make art out of the mess he's made of his life.It's the early 2000s, and Byron works at the prototypical dot.com gone right. He's surrounded by arrogance, excitement, and mostly the Messianic zeal to conquer the world, one competitor at a time. But he finds himself unprepared for life after thirty, and ambivalent about the semi-fortune his stock options might eventually yield. When a rumor circulates that a devastating round of layoffs is scheduled to occur just before Christmas, Byron begins to envision where he'll be when something approximating reality comes crashing down.Not to Mention a Nice Life explores corporatized America during the not-so-quiet storm that preceded the historic economic meltdown of 2008. It provides a literary answer to "Office Space," and answers a great unasked question: What happened to Holden Caulfield when he grew up? He got a job.
