“The late novelist Kurt Vonnegut understood these costs. He once wrote about going to town to buy an envelope, though his wife sensibly suggested he save time and buy in bulk. ‘I’m going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope,’ Vonnegut replied. ‘I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babes. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. . . . The moral of the story is, we’re here on Earth to fart around. And of course the computers will do us out of that.’ To that lament, DeMont’s lively and meticulously reported account serves as a heartfelt amen.”
—National Post
“A Good Day's Work is a one-of-a-kind work and an important book. . . . as many Canadians as possible need to read it.”
—The Guardian (Charlottetown).
