| Abstract: | Workers are being weaned away from the territorial need to have a desk of their own. But are they as happy as their managers are with the economies made through hot-desking, hotelling and open plan? Novelist Philip Kerr's new book "Gridiron" gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "intelligent office". Kerr's state-of-the-art Los Angeles office, the eponymous Gridiron building, is so intelligent (or rather the computer that controls it is) that it does what any self-respecting intelligent building would do if irritated by mere humans: it kills them. |
