Bad Attitude is a collection of writings and graphics from the extraordinary Processed Word magazine. Dedicated it giving voice to the benumbed foot-soldiers of the information age it contains blistering first-hand accounts of life at the bottom of the ladder in big banks, defense contractors, computer manufacturers and food processing factories. In these pages the service economy and the new high tech jobs often touted in glowing terms by the mainstream media are exposed for their quotidian banality, their essential uselessness, and the catch-22 absurdity that permeates all corporate life under late capitalism.

Moving at bike messenger speed between offices, Bad Attitude describes the hazards of the office computer and how to sabotage it, mutant culture in Silicon Valley, the new transiency undercutting links at work, the connections between time and money, bosses and secretaries, resistance and resignation. It provides a unique basis for new theoretical developments in the struggle for human liberation, and, above all, it assures the thousands of isolated rebels mired in dead-end and deadening jobs that they are not alone. The spark of revolt can and must be nurtured until the next wave comes along.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Processed World is a good 25 years ahead of its time.”—San Francisco Examiner

“Corporate computer culture is a moving target that requires the precise aim found in the Processed World ... written for and by people who live and breathe the price of progress.”—The Nation

“Looking like the hybrid of a comic book and a workers’ manifesto, Processed World combines satire and critical analysis to expose alienation-exploitation-sexploitation at its worst in this, the age of information.”—Working Woman
