A Debut Novel Turns the Corporate World Into Code
Sarah Tadlaoui's first novel, "Croire au code," follows a young AI specialist from a working-class background as she navigates the unwritten rules of a big company.
"Croire au code" is the debut novel by Sarah Tadlaoui, reviewed by Télérama as part of this year's rentrée littéraire. It follows a young woman trained in artificial intelligence, from a working-class background, who manages to land a job at a major corporation.
According to Télérama, the novel traces her disillusionment as the social codes of the workplace collide with the computer codes she has mastered — a mismatch between the language she speaks and the language the company actually runs on.
The outlet describes the writing as sharp and the storytelling as inventive, calling it a striking account of the corporate world's unforgiving logic.
