Dead Ringers chronicles the rise of a workforce for whom mimicry is a job requirement and a passion. In the process, the book deftly explores the complications of hybrid lives and presents a vivid portrait of a workplace where globalization carries as many downsides as advantages.}, recid = {436324}, pages = {1 online resource (xiii, 273 p.)}, address = {Princeton :}, year = {2010}, }
