About this audiobook
Have you ever stopped and looked at your coworkers? Especially those in the back, the ones you've never interacted with. Who are they? What are they doing? What are they thinking?
Each of these individuals has his or her own story. They have their battles, defeats and victories. Ask them a question, and you realize they are the center of their own universe.
In this book named after an aged pasta filata, we explore one story that spins into a web of interconnected individuals. We explore life, death, and the workplace that holds it all together.
