Book description
Okay, so let me tell you about this weird little audiobook gem that completely broke my brain in the best way possible.
Defekt follows Derek, who's basically the corporate world's wet dream - this guy literally lives for his job at LitenVΓ€rld. We're talking full commitment here: wakes up in a shipping container next to the parking lot, works eighteen-hour days, breathes nothing but company loyalty. Sounds exhausting, right?
But then Derek takes his FIRST sick day ever and suddenly his manager's questioning whether he's really as dedicated as he seems. Plot twist: in this world, needing time off is apparently suspicious behavior for someone who's supposedly built for this job.
So what does management do? They send Derek on this bizarre inventory hunt to prove his worth. And when I say bizarre, I mean we're talking about hunting down defective products like toy chests that grow pincers and eye stalks, sofas that walk around, and toilets that basically become serial killers.
The real kicker? Derek gets teamed up with four other guys who are basically identical to him - same look, same voice, same everything. It's like some kind of surreal corporate experiment wrapped in a workplace comedy and dipped in existential horror.
What really grabbed me was how this audiobook takes these absolutely absurd scenarios and uses them to hammer home some pretty sharp points about work culture and identity. The narration somehow makes all the weirdness feel completely normal, which honestly makes it even weirder.
It's the kind of story that starts off feeling like dark comedy but slowly reveals itself to be something much more unsettling about what happens when you lose yourself in your job. Definitely not your typical sci-fi adventure, but that's exactly what makes it worth your time.
