Several People Are Typing is a blend of workplace comedy, science fiction, and horror. I bought my copy new.

Review:
Gerald is working on a spreadsheet of winter coats he might want to purchase when his consciousness is suddenly somehow sucked into the internal Slack channels of the marketing company he works for. He doesn't hide this from anyone and, in fact, asks for help multiple times, but most of his coworkers are convinced that this is some kind of weird bit and that Gerald is just working from home. Gerald's boss is impressed with his improved levels of productivity.
The one person who knows Gerald isn't just really committed to a weird joke is his coworker Pradeep, who reluctantly takes care of Gerald's physical body while he's not in it. As Gerald and Pradeep try to figure out how to get Gerald back into his body, several of their coworkers try to create social media posts that will somehow improve the reputation of a dog food company whose product has suddenly killed dozens of Pomeranians. They also talk about their dogs, kids, and secret office romances.
