False Value, Audio Book

False Value, Audio Book (2020) Ben Aaronovitch narrated by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith (Rivers of London)

Johnson had made a point of calling the human resources department “HR” rather than its official internal company name, the Magrathean Ape-Descended Life Form Utilization Service, just as he called the department I had just joined “Security” rather than the Vogon Enforcement Arm.

there was rumored to be a whole department within the Bureau of Indian Affairs whose one job was to come down hard on any Native American practitioner who tried to practice outside the reservations. I wondered if Reynolds knew this. And, if she did, why she’d never mentioned it to me.

We sat in silence and sipped our drinks. From the kitchen behind us I could hear various chopped comestibles being tossed around in a wok. Which at least meant we weren’t going to be having McDonald’s—you hear stories.

The ceiling was a bog-standard suspended tile affair useful for covering up ducts, cables and xenomorph infiltrations.
