The Employees is a fragmented, speculative novel set aboard a spaceship staffed by humans and humanoids. Told through witness statements, it explores labour, emotion, and the nature of consciousness. Ravn’s minimalist style sharpens its philosophical questions. The line between human and object blurs. The book critiques corporate logic and alienation. Cool, strange, and quietly devastating.
