A New York Times Notable Book • Daily Beast Best Nonfiction of 2014 • Inc. Magazine's Most Thought-Provoking Books of the Year “Man is born free, but he is everywhere in cubicles.” How did we get from Scrooge’s office to “Office Space”? From bookkeepers in dark countinghouses to freelancers in bright cafes? What would the world be like without the vertical file cabinet? What would the world be like without the office at all? In Cubed, Nikil Saval chronicles the evolution of the office in a fascinating, often funny, and sometimes disturbing anatomy of the white-collar world and how it came to be the way it is. Drawing on the history of architecture and business, as well as a host of pop culture artifacts—from Mad Men to Dilbert (and, yes, The Office)—and ranging in time from the earliest clerical houses to the surprisingly utopian origins of the cubicle to the funhouse campuses of Silicon Valley, Cubed is an all-encompassing investigation into the way we work, why we do it the way we do (and often don’t like it), and how we might do better.

"'The Cubicle' is about the aspiration of a writer, to write about life (or the lack of it) in the IT industry. Weighing the options, he decides to join an IT company to write about it. With fake experience, he manages to do so. Within months at work, he gets a long term onsite opportunity, which he desperately avoids strategically. He even gets politically entangled, not in the office politics - which is obvious anyways - but in Indian politics. He excels in his career and even completes the book, until he falls in a dilemma over a career making decision. Someone with no prior IT experience survives and excels in a top IT company? I must be kidding. Or this has to be the best super hero story? Or the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious'fiction' written ever? Or a book full of lies starting from this synopsis? Or this synopsis is a typo error, really big time? It isn't that tough, if you know the shortcuts inside 'the cubicle'. The Cubicle is a fictional non-fictional satire. The fictional elements are added to the book to make you believe the 'unbelievable(s)'; with a very thin line of story woven around. Sarcasm and Humour are intended - Laughter will be asking for too much, but smile(s), and tips and tricks to make your career better than what it is now, guaranteed. NOT an autobiography. "

In his debut novel, Brett Pahler provides a luminary to those young at heart and disillusioned with their careers. Protagonist Silas Whitaker, an early thirties professional desperate to eek out meaning within his Finance landscape, at long last takes matters in his own hands. With an interior monologue that never sleeps, Silas spends his last week carving his initials into the bureaucracy that employs him, turning the drudgery into anything but, keeping his superiors off balance every step of the way. His refusal to accept corporate norms offers equal parts hilarity and chilling critique, his dialogue in and around the office rare authenticity. Readers will appreciate the pace, wit, edge, and earnestness with which Pahler weaves this story.
