Martin Lukes: Who Moved my Blackberry?
by Lucy Kellaway

This novel is a pitch-perfect satire of corporate life in the 21st century. The utterly unloveable Martin Lukes blunders his way through 12 eventful and yet essentially pointless months in the office, trying to follow the entreaties of his life-coach, Pandora, to 'Strive and Thrive!'

Lukes's proudest contribution is inventing the concept of 'creovation' - 'half creativity, half innovation'. 'If the stonemasons building the flagship St Paul's cathedral in London had been a bit more creovative, they might have come up with something less of a cliche than a bog standard dome!' he tells his boss.

My daughter has been studying The Vikings at school and assures me that they lived in monogamous relationships, but perhaps that is just what a Christian School tells nine year olds?
