Some companies put so much value on culture that they go to extreme lengths to promote their corporate culture, just like Zappos did by publishing the Culture Book explaining what culture means to them.

Despiadado y divertido a un tiempo, brillantemente traducido por Enrique de Hériz, El último beso es no sólo un viaje trepidante a las entrañas de la condición humana, sino también, y por encima de todo, un libro extraordinario que ha influido como pocos en los grandes renovadores de la novela negra norteamericana de los últimos años.

A very personal version of Hell no one wanted to be stuck with. id Software/NASA/Electronic ArtsĮven NASA, as it prepared to launch its first manned mission to space in the 1960s, feared the possibility its astronauts would catch a bad case of “space madness,” a form of trauma psychiatrists warned could manifest itself when humans came face to face with the realities of space and how alien it could feel. Newer generations came into contact with this type of horror through another video game called Dead Space (2008), where scientific inquiry extends an open invitation to a cosmic evil that, like Doom, turns a space station in a den of demons. For others it was through Paul Anderson’s fan-favorite sci-fi/horror movie Event Horizon (1997), about a spaceship that traveled to Hell and came back with something terrible on-board. For many, it was an idea presented by way of demons and shotguns in the 1993 video game Doom.
