Microsoft employees leave to join a startup, told in the diary of one of them, in a book largely about what the work does to the people doing it.
Read in April 1999, a year before the crash, when the premise still read as satire rather than documentary. The flat shared housing, the equity that is going to change everything, the sense that the job has eaten the rest of life.
I went on to JPod years later, which is the same joke told after the industry had grown up and got worse.
