About the Book
There’s no merge without a conflict.
Once again, meet Leo Larsson—a software developer and a mental breakdown survivor.
When Leo traded the UK for Swedish serenity, it seemed like the perfect reboot. But the dream is rapidly heading for an abrupt shutdown.
After the company announces a surprise merger, the existence of Leo's underperforming team is thrown into jeopardy as the threat of office closure looms like an unchecked exception.
With the team's fate hanging by a thread, Leo faces the horrifying possibility of another breakdown, personal bankruptcy, and the end to the weekly visits to the technophobic therapist, Ulrik. Leo must save the office, no matter the cost.
The solution seems simple: Game the performance metrics, bedazzle the new CEO with flash-fashion programming, and do the impossible: a Great Merge.
But there's a catch.
Leo's grip on reality is slipping, and the seemingly brilliant ideas could easily backfire.
