Sci-fi novel with elements of comedy and horror, it follows an office worker as his conscience is uploaded into the Slack app and how he tries to get help from his colleagues. 
I loved this weird little story specifically it's original format as it was written entirely through Slack messages. This made for a quick read, although some app/office related slang did confuse me as a European who never really used Slack.  The plot was straightforward but I did love the main mystery and the other subplots. I did feel everything resolved a bit too quick, and the ending felt a bit abrupt. I didn't laugh out loud as mentioned in one of the review on the cover but I was certainly amused and chuckled during some moments.  I have to mention the bisexual and gay representation too, as always the cherry on top. 
Overall this was a truly fun and enjoyable read.
