Where Office Space meets Local Hero, HUMAN SOFTWARE is a darker, more realistic Phoenix Project.
When corporate wants you gone, who does the dirty work?
Beth Walters has kept Gerbach's crumbling IT systems alive through skill, stubbornness and too many sleepless nights. She knows where the bodies are buried - technically speaking.
Then Christine Hegarty flies in from New York with a mandate, a deadline, and no patience for sentiment. She's done this before. She thinks she knows how it ends.
When a fatal data breach rocks the declining port town of Sandport, Beth's name is on the wrong piece of code. What follows is a fight for her job, her team, and her reputation against a company that has already decided who it's going to sacrifice.
Set in a decaying corner of coastal Kent, HUMAN SOFTWARE is a darkly funny novel about corporate rot, institutional failure and the people caught in the machinery of modern work.
HUMAN SOFTWARE is a wry, quietly unsettling story about ambition, loyalty, community and what it costs to remain human at work.
"Freaked me out more than any Stephen King novel" JEREMY MARKEY - Rands Slack Book Reviewer
"Vivid world-building and well-rounded characters. I found myself completely hooked." RUSSELL MCLEAN - Emmy and BAFTA Award-Winning Producer
"A proper page turner, part thriller, part whodunnit and a fine dystopian parable" CHARLES HUMBLE - Tech Consultant & Journalist

Über den Autor
Richard W. Bown is a writer and engineer originally from Kent and now based in Amsterdam. His debut novel, Human Software, is a sharp, wry and quietly unsettling story about the humans behind the systems - the gap between what gets planned and what actually gets built and what it is to stay true to yourself in the world of corporate IT.
