      Synopsis

      A compulsively readable, hilarious novel told through the e-mail messages of Martin Lukes, a businessman who loves jargon but totally lacks understanding.

      The New York Times - Ana Marie Cox

      Who Moved My BlackBerry? is not art. Those in search of a book that gets to the human cost and comedy of modern technology as White Noise or The Corrections did will not find it in the small-screen antics of Martin Lukes. Kellaway's book is a snapshot, a lot of clever messages that ultimately point at their own absurdity. Then again, perhaps that's the idea. Her frenetic yet motionless characters reflect the irony of BlackBerryed life: It only looks as if you're busy.

      March 19, 2006: Arrogant and hedonistic London based Martin Lukes is Marketing Director at A&B (UK), a Fortune 500 company. Because of his Everest ego and lady Macbeth ambition, Martin provides us masses with insight into a year plus in his life almost thirteen months filled with scandal, blunders, and survivability of faddism in the corporate jungle and the more dangerous personal cutthroat world by amassing and printing his emails. He leaves nothing out at least that is what he insists. --- WHO MOVED MY BLACKBERRY TM? is a fascinating look inside the corporate world by an ?insider? yet though book length maintains the amusing satirical sting that Lucy Kellaway provides with her column in Financial Times. However, this reviewer found the book was easier to read and appreciate over several weeks. My spouse, who has followed Lukes? escapades said, the column reminded him of Professor Putts' series of articles on business in the R&D world (1970s), but especially found it ironically more jocular in small doses rather than one large gulp. For us newcomers, this fiction is a fine English look at the stereotypical behavior of corporate leaders and workers. --- Harriet Klausner
