Fired? But I Maintain All the Software! is unabashedly a corporate revenge fantasy. Ai has witnessed her department be decimated beyond operational ability for years, and now she gets to watch from the outside as the company’s ignorant CEO reaps what he has sown. For any reader who has suffered a bad boss – which is likely anyone who has ever worked a job – it’s pure adult wish fulfilment.
