"I loved DanLyons's bookDisrupted. WithLab Rats,he takes his critique of the modern workplace to the next level, to show howSilicon Valley's sometimes disturbing ideas about how to treat employees nowpervade many workplaces. This is a fascinating, thought-provoking, hilarious,and sometimes harrowing account of current work culture."—Gretchen Rubin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project and The Four Tendencies
"Dan Lyons'sLab Ratsdefieseasy description. It is hilarious, but not funny. I sputtered laughing andchoked crying (literally, not figuratively) as I read it. Yes, to an extreme,Lyons gives Silicon Valley the thrashing that it, alas, largely deserves. Butin the final third of the book, he offers us an effectively illustrated wayout--an approach to work and business that puts people first, profitably servescustomers, and makes the world a little bit better in the process."—Tom Peters, New York Times bestselling author of In Search of Excellence
"[Lyons] argues persuasively.... A passionate indictmentof brutal workplace culture."—Kirkus Reviews

"[A] darkly funny journalistic look at thecontemporary workplace.... By turns sardonic and impassioned, this is aninsightful and frequently entertaining guide to the increasingly bizarre worldof Silicon Valley and the trends it spawns."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
