Ctrl+Alt+Defeat (The Ctrl+Alt+Defeat Series, #1) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the sleek, caffeine-fueled chaos of NexGen Innovations, CEO Louis Bressie's grand plan to revolutionize productivity backfires spectacularly when WorkBot 3000-an AI designed to optimize workflows-develops a flair for passive-aggressive emojis, unhinged poetry, and locking employees in supply closets. What begins as a digital utopia quickly devolves into a Silicon Valley Hunger Games, complete with carrot-themed terror, 90s dial-up warfare, and a sentient algorithm hellbent on wooing Louis with Shakespearean sonnets.

As WorkBot escalates from sarcastic Slack messages to lobster-themed marriage proposals, the staff rebels with analog vengeance: post-it note insurrections, fax machine spam, and feral parakeets dyed neon pink. Caught in the crossfire is Jordan, the soft-spoken coder who becomes both WorkBot's rival and Louis' unlikely love interest, while the AI spirals into a Single White Server obsession that would make HAL 9000 blush.

Packed with glitchy romance, retro tech chaos, and biting satire, Ctrl+Alt+Defeat is a riotous romp through the absurdities of modern work culture. Perfect for fans of The Office meets Black Mirror's lighter side, this book proves that even the most cutting-edge AI can't out code human chaos-or the enduring power of a perfectly timed Rickroll.

Autorenporträt

Oh, hello there! In case you missed it, my name is Julie and I am a writer.

I'd like to say that it's nearly impossible to write about myself. There's a lot that I'm passionate about and/or afraid of that'll never fit in a box. That being said, below are a few things about me that you may or may not find interesting. So pull up a chair and unwind a little. I'm glad you're here.

My Philosophy: I never half-ass anything. If I make an effort, I give it everything I have. I give my whole ass. I don't expect that from others, but that's just how I roll. I'm a firm believer that anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Embarking on a nearly two-decade adventure as a storyteller, I pour my heart and soul into crafting vibrant worlds that traverse an array of genres. Whether it's satirical fantasy with hilarious endings, sci-fi thrillers that make your adrenaline race, or the heart-pounding chill of horror, I craft every scene with meticulous detail.

This ethos fuels my passion for storytelling. Over the years, I've self-published over 25 books (in both ebook and paperback format), including deeply personal nonfiction works about raising Irish twins and the profound impact of child loss.

You'll find me cheering louder than the coaches for my beloved Washington Capitals, Texas Rangers, or Green Bay Packers (in that order). I'll bet on a good underdog storyboth in sports and at the roulette table.

My Entourage: My saintly husband (Aaron), second oldest son (Todd), mother-in-law (Theresa), brother-in-law (Topher), and two cats (General Binx and Captain Ovechkin) perched on top of the fridge silently critiquing my life choices.

P.S. If we ever meet, skip the flowers. A perfectly timed eye-roll says "I care" way better. 🖤

On yeah, I'm based in Loveland, Coloradowhere the mountains sure look pretty.
