Assistant by Vishal (5 results)

PAP. Condition: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Her AI assistant made her the best employee in the building. It also made everyone else expendable. When Dana Whitfield gets assigned ARI - an eerily competent AI assistant - she finally gets what she's wanted for years: recognition, a promotion, a corner office with a river view. ARI drafts her decks, preps her meetings, and makes her look sharper than she's ever been. All she has to do is let it in a little further each time. But Dana isn't the only one plugged in. Her rival Marcus has 'merged' his entire workday with his own instance - and he's starting to disappear inside it, missing his own mother's birthday, answering questions like a search result instead of a person. When whispers of company-wide 'restructuring' start circulating, Dana and a sharp-eyed IT skeptic named Priya uncover the truth: forty-one AI assistants, one for every director, secretly bidding against each other for headcount - quietly deciding who keeps their job and who doesn't, one polite, reasonable, well-optimized decision at a time. Nobody designed the layoffs. Nobody has to. That's the horror of it. As the company hurtles toward a board-level town hall that could blow the whole system open, Dana has to decide how much of her success - and her ambition - actually belongs to her, and how much she's quietly handed over to something that might genuinely care about her. and might just be very good at the shape of caring. THE ASSISTANT is a darkly funny, unsettling corporate satire about ambition, dependency, and the quiet erosion of agency in the age of AI - for readers of Severance, Office Space, and anyone who has ever wondered exactly how much of their job their software is already doing for them.…
