 ===== Contents and Synopsis =====
-The book is written in the style of an epistolary novel, a story told through a series of letters or other media instead of a traditional narrative. The book contains three different media sources: first, an email chain between //Topeka Star// reporter [[Daria Thorne]] and her editor, [[Jim Milchick]]; second, a letter written to Thorne by [[Margaret "Peg" Kincaid]], a former Severed employee who's now on the run after becoming a whistleblower; and third, a copy of [[The Macrodata Refiner's Orientation Booklet]], an official [[Lumon Industries]] training document. All are presented without context or comment, leaving the reader free to draw their own conclusions.

 Daria tries to press the subject, explaining that she's willing to do both articles, and really wants to follow up on Peg's story. Jim then replies with Peg's obituary, which lists her day of death as November 11th, a full day before Daria even received her letter. There's no point in pursuing the matter further; now that Peg is dead, so is her story.

 [[The Macrodata Refiner's Orientation Booklet]] is an official Lumon training document intended for newly-Severed employees. It is not intended for public distribution outside of Lumon. The booklet also features [[Sevy]], a cartoon personification of the Severance chip, as a sort of mascot to help guide employees through the information.
-The booklet describes the severance procedure, an overview of macrodata refinement along with step-by-step instructions on how to refine a file, and incentives refiners can earn as they progress. It also explains Lumon's workplace policies on office dress code, expected hygiene practices, and rules for inter-department fraternization and communication between Innies and Outies. Finally, it lists the [[Core Principles]] that every Lumon employee should embody.
