True Tales of Working The Web

Bill Lessard, Steve Baldwin

Résumé

If you've worked in new media, chances are you've been burned. Maybe you're a freelancer owed thousands of dollars by a giant corporation. Or maybe you're someone who bet his or her career on a content project that went sour. Maybe you gave up a stable career to join the "web pioneers" who were going to transform publishing, and you wound up in a dead-end HTML coding job instead. Or maybe you're just somebody who has worked for years helping a web-based company get up and running, only to get a pink slip for your trouble now that success is around the corner. If you fit any of these descriptions, or dozens more, then you are a "Net Slave."

Net Slaves offers eyewitness accounts of how self-destructive the Internet business can be. Going beyond IPO hype and Wired futurism, this book is a humorous, and not-so-humorous, collection of stories that document the grueling hours, poor management, chronic back-stabbing, finger pointing, and wild speculation that have become standard in an industry with no real rules. The book is based upon net slaves.com, which Entertainment Weekly said, "has the potential to become the official voice of disenfranchised code monkeys," and Wired cites as "the only site where the 'web working poor' can air their feelings." Net Slaves shares the real-life stories of those who work the Web, in their own words, combined with anecdotes about what happens to people who push themselves for too long on "Internet time."

L'auteur - Bill Lessard

Bill Lessard is a poster boy for "NetSlavery". Since 1992, he has worked in various positions for Prodigy, Time Warner's Pathfinder and numerous failed startups. Currently unemployed, Bill seeks revenge on everyone who has screwed him over and in so doing, give a voice to the unrecognized people who really "work the Web", as opposed to the well-publicized few who simply take credit for it. Bill is also motivated by greed and the desire for fame, but he would never admit it.

L'auteur - Steve Baldwin

Steve Baldwin started out in the computer industry at Ziff-Davis's doomed "PC Sources" magazine in 1991 and spent years moving tons of product into the gritty American mail-order channel. He's worked professionally as a hardware editor, online sysop, webmaster, editor and games programmer. These days, when he's not freelancing his talents to the highest (lowest?) bidder, he divides his time between "NetSlaves" and his acclaimed "Ghost Sites of the Web".
