Amusing read, but impossible to believe a 42 year woman in the fashion industry would not be tech savvy. Also her coworker was such a HR nightmare it was also impossible to believe she wouldn't be instantly fired. But this is not the type of book I pick up for historical accuracy so it gets 3 stars. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:An outrageously stylish, wickedly funny novel of fashion in the digital age, The Knockoff is the story of Imogen Tate, editor in chief of Glossy magazine, who finds her twentysomething former assistant Eve Morton plotting to knock Imogen off her pedestal, take over her job, and reduce the magazine, famous for its lavish 768-page September issue, into an app. When Imogen returns to work at Glossy after six months away, she can barely recognize her own magazine. Eve, fresh out of Harvard Business School, has fired ??the gray hairs,? put the managing editor in a supply closet, stopped using the landlines, and hired a bevy of manicured and questionably attired underlings who text and tweet their way through meetings. Imogen, darling of the fashion world, may have Alexander Wang and Diane von Furstenberg on speed dial, but she can??t tell Facebook from Foursquare and once got her iPhone stuck in Japanese for two days. Under Eve??s reign, Glossy is rapidly becoming a digital sweatshop??hackathons rage all night, girls who sleep get fired, and ??fun? means mandatory, company-wide coordinated dances to Beyoncé. Wildly out of her depth, Imogen faces a choice??pack up her Smythson notebooks and quit, or channel her inner geek and take on Eve to save both the magazine and her career. A glittering, uproarious, sharply drawn story filled with thinly veiled fashion personalities, The Knockoff is an insider??s look at the ever-changing world of fashion and a fabulous romp f Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Readers are meant to sympathize with the dinosaur and that was easy for me since I am even older than her and have actually had more than one conversation recently wondering exactly what is the point of Instagram anyway?
Filled with fun characters and while the plot is completely predictable it was still a worthwhile use of time.
Perfect for light reading.
