Samenvatting

A Michael Moore for the Dot.com generation, ‘21 Dog Years’ is Mike Daisey’s wickedly funny story of life in the New Economy trenches.

'One of the most bizarre and hilariously funny love stories you will ever read'

In 1998, when Amazon.com went to temp agencies to recruit people, their directive was simple: Send us your freaks. Mike Daisey – slacker, stand-up comedian and dilettante – was perfect for the job. Thus began his love affair that would span nearly three years; firstly working 14 hour days in the cube farms of customer services and then in business development.

'21 Dog Years' tells the real story of life in the dot.com trenches: CEO worship, cat litter, Albanian economics, stock option envy and free bagels… As the dot.bomb exploded and stocks plummeted, Mike Daisey charts the death of the new, new thing and the end of an affair with hilarious honesty.

"Between Spalding Gray and Robin Williams."
'New York Post'

"Mike Daisey does what Michael Moore once did for General Motors."
'Entertainment Weekly'

A Michael Moore for the Dot.com generation, ‘21 Dog Years’ is Mike Daisey’s wickedly funny story of life in the New Economy trenches.

In 1998, when Amazon.com went to temp agencies to recruit people, they gave them a simple directive: send us your freaks. Thus began Mike Daisey's love affair with the world’s biggest bookstore.

Mike Daisey worked at Amazon.com for nearly three years during the dot-com frenzy of the late nineties. Now that his nondisclosure agreement has expired, he can tell the real story of tech culture, hero worship, cat litter, Albanian economics, venture capitalism that feed into the delusional cocktail exulted as the New Economy.

His ascent from lowly temp to customer service representative to business development hustler is the stuff of dreams – and nightmares. No wonder Newsweek has dubbed Daisey the ‘oracle of the bust.’

With a hugely popular website mikedaisey.com and a hit one-man show that has received phenomenal coverage (with stories in Wired, Daily Mail, Salon, Guardian and elsewhere), Michael Daisey has been called the first dot.comic and the Michael Moore of the net generation.

Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews? Hoe controleren en plaatsen wij reviews?

Negatief, positief, neutraal: we zetten een review altijd online. We controleren wel eerst of ’ie voldoet aan onze reviewvoorwaarden en niet nep is. We controleren ook of ’ie is geschreven door iemand die het artikel heeft gekocht via bol.com en zetten dit er dan bij. De controles gebeuren automatisch, al kijken er soms mensen mee. Bol.com betaalt niet voor reviews. Als een reviewer door een andere partij is vergoed, staat dit in de review zelf.
