Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris

A clever, original book. Written in the second person plural ("We"), it is a darkly comic examination of office life. Are they friends, or just co-workers? Do they care for and look out for each other, or are their jobs more important than personal relationships. The book follows an advertising agency as it declines and workers are laid off. Very true to life and authentic.
