Features: The authors Lesley De Saussure and Baldwin were once "seasoned netizens." Currently, they are the founders of "Net Slaves" (www.netslaves.com). This book is based on interviews with network workers, encompassing all levels of jobs related to the internet. Eleven netizens share their personal experiences, presenting the real lives of internet professionals, including exhausting work hours, poor management systems, and constant work pressure. In this witty and humorous documentary account, you will see the ugliness beneath a glamorous exterior, unfulfilled dreams, and even shattered self-esteem. Such exclusive content is absolutely nowhere to be found in Wired magazine. While people are cheerfully talking about the future of the internet, the stories of netizens are often overlooked. The success or failure of an industry depends not only on the CEOs featured on the covers of computer magazines but also on all those who have invested their efforts and youth. Do you want to know what the future of the internet will be? Start by truly grasping the real picture of internet work! This book is powerful, thought-provoking, and a must-read for the new century!
