The knockoff

The knockoff / Lucy Sykes & Jo Piazza 338 pgs.

Imogene Tate returns to work after a bout with cancer to find that the company is going a different direction.  A fashion magazine editor with lots of cred, she finds her magazine has turned into an app and the staff has turned into a tech heavy crew who doesn't care about much past "BUY IT NOW".  The worst, however, is that this transformation has been engineered by Eve, Imogene's former assistant who recently graduated with a Harvard MBA.  Eve is robot like in her demands of staff and very cruel in their treatment.  Imogene isn't the most tech savvy person but is learning fast.  Eve makes a point of naming a toy dinosaur after her but makes the mistake of underestimating Imogene's ability to  adapt and be classy...something that Eve lacks in spades.  Entertaining and tech interesting.  This book can also serve as a "what NOT to do" if you hope to be a good boss.
