A crazy world with its own logic

Full Asylum by Michael Isenberg
Review by Michael Sheldon

Full Asylum is a fun read. Government heavy-handedness is nicely skewered with only the slightest exaggerations. In the same vein, Isenberg’s portrayal of the culture of cutthroat competition within and between tech companies appears to be all-too-realistic. Brutal office politics, crony capitalists, and a variety of nincompoops in roles they aren’t suited for make for a wild rumpus. The wrestlers are probably the only characters here with big enough egos to please Ayn Rand acolytes. Personally, the gentle, daffy Madam Butterfly is my favorite.

Michael Sheldon is a writer based in Seattle, WA. His forthcoming novel, The Violet Crow, will be published by Liberty Island. Read Michael’s short fiction at LibertyIslandMag.com.
