Paranoia

Paranoia by Finder, Joseph. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780312992286.

It was only a prank: diverting cash from Wyatt Telecoms executive slush fund to throw a retirement bash for a member of the loading dock crew. But when corporate security catches up with Adam Cassidy, a low ambition junior staffer at the high-tech behemoth, they call it something else: embezzlement, to the tune of nearly $80 grand. Ruthless CEO Nick Wyatt is impressed by Adams scheming, and offers him one way out-take on the role of a rising corporate hotshot and infiltrate Wyatts rival, Trion Systems. His mission is to get close to Trions legendary founder Jock Goddard, and his ultra-secret "Project Aurora," and report back to Wyatt. With Wyatt pulling the strings and a dramatically improved identity, Adam is set up as Trions new boy genius. Suddenly, hes got a sweet new Porsche, a closet full of $1,500 suits, and even a lovely lady who thinks hes a dream. But its all just a mirage, because Adam is about to learn that nothing is what it seems and that it isnt paranoia...everyone is out to get him...
