Enter Cloud (read Evil Amazon), a company which builds large cities called MotherClouds which offer jobs,housing,food to people. Paxton, a former prison guard and Zinnia, a school teacher join Cloud as they have no other choice. The story revolves around both these people and their intentions of joining Cloud.All the employees of Cloud are forced to wear smart watches called CloudBands which help them in various day to day activities as well as help Cloud track their employees. If an employee even wastes a single minute while working, the watch knows it and decreases their star rating which is a scale of measuring an employee's efficiency. At one point in the story, one of the main characters is told not to utter the word 'union' because if it falls into the wrong ears, they may get fired.Rob Hart has done a great job in exposing what's wrong with the world right now. At a time when the world needs all the help it can get, corporate companies like Amazon are greedy for more wealth in exchange for technologies that can help people.The writing style is great. The story is told in three different perspectives, namely Paxton, Zinnia and Gibson Wells who's the CEO of Cloud. The story seems to be dragged a bit in the middle but the ending is absolutely amazing. Rob Hart makes a strong, fearless statement as to why the world's failing due to these large corporate conglomerates. The world building is really great and the characters are well fleshed out.I seriously fear that the world might come to this stage at some point of time where governments fail and corporates like Amazon take over the world. Woudl recommend this book to everyone. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oh brave new world that has such people in it. *by P***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 29 October 2019* The Warehouse is a satirical sci fi thriller. The target of the satire is most obviously Amazon, but it could equally be any of the current crop of self righteous tech behemoths, Google, Apple, Microsoft. As a Sci Fi novel, it is set in a fairly near future where global warming is rampant, and retail has become a virtual monopoly in the hands of The Cloud, and its owner Gibson Wells.The story is told by three voices , Wells himself and two new employees. Paxton was a small businessman whose enterprise was ruined by continuous price pressure from the Cloud. Zinnia provides the heart of the thriller, she is a corporate spy, paid by a mysterious client to infiltrate the Cloud.The early part of the book is largely taken up with establishing the Cloud as an environment. Workers are assigned to different tasks, identified by the different t shirts they wear. They work, eat, sleep on company premises, everything they buy is through company outlets. At work they are constantly monitored, assessed, graded. In one particularly telling section, the passage of time is denoted by staccato chapters which say little more than work, eat sleep, repeat.The impact of the constant assessment, negative and positive feedback on Paxton is clearly reminiscent of the brainwashing of Winston Smith. While it doesn't go as far as "Paxton loved Gibson Wells" it isn't far off. Indeed when Gibson visits the facility where Paxton and Zinnia work, his reception definitely resembles North Korean adoration for the dear leader. This is very clearly a vision of capitalist authoritariansim. A Brave New World, perhaps.Of course, in Wells' own account of the world he has created, he is a hero, a philanthropist, who has challenged the bureaucratic establishment to provide a new American utopia. It is Wells who gives the book its greatest moments. Author Rob Hart perfectly captures the self righteous tone of the Nietzschian, Ayn Rand inspired, libertarian silicon valley entrepreneurs. As Paxton and Zinnia discover the truth of the world around them, so the true nature of Wells becomes apparent behind his own words. A self justifying soft collar exploiter. A neo-Victorian mill owner dressed in the language of business school ordure.Of the three elements of the book, the Sci-Fi setting is a necessary backdrop to the satire. The thriller element is perfectly fine, with the tension building up nicely but is not really the main event.I had two minor quibbles with the book. Firstly the satire hits an off note with one waste-related twist at the end. What comes before has a degree of subtlety, but one event is about as nuanced as saying [insert fast food restaurant of choice] is excrement. Secondly, if the US economy is as wrecked as portrayed, and people are so desperate to work at the Cloud, Who is buying all this stuff?Overall, however, the Warehouse deserves to be mentioned alongside Orwell, Huxley and Chaplin. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Eggers - lite *by G***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 February 2020* I'm a little nonplussed by all the rave reviews. It's perfectly readable, but by no means a literary treasure, and the story is perfectly OK. But it's full of holes (won't spoil the plot here but you'll see if you read it) and the world it portrays is far from convincing. Large parts of it are missing and it simply doesn't add up. I kept thinking 'wish I were reading the Circle', so much more rounded, deeper and far better written, if you want the evil all embracing tech corporation thing. Or for dystopia, something like Station Eleven. This is kind of a bit of both, but does no more than nibble at the edges of either. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.uy/products/355732868-the-warehouse](https://www.desertcart.uy/products/355732868-the-warehouse) --- *Product available on Desertcart Uruguay* *Store origin: UY* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
