The Saturday Play: 21 Dog Years: Doing Time at Amazon.com

on BBC Radio 4 FM

An American writer and comic looks back cynically but affectionately at an episode in his life. With a degree in aesthetics from a "micro-ivy" college, Mike Daisey went to Seattle with no plan in mind and found himself in 1998 working at Amazon.com because he suddenly needed dental insurance. He claws his way up from the crazy hours, targets and work sirens of customer service to the more sedate world of Business Development in the hope that some day soon he can cash in his stock options. And then he realizes that, early on in this dehumanised world of e-commerce, he lost himself. Written and performed by Mike Daisey. Producer Judith Kampfner
