-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 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.+The book is written in the style of an epistolary novel, or a story told through a series of letters or other media instead of a traditional narrative.

 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.  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.
