deeper sleep

CW: FLASHING LIGHTS, LOUND NOISES

Hey, while searching trough my old stuff, I have found that weird CD with words "DEEPER SLEEP BETA - DO NOT DISTRIBUTE WITHOUT PERMISSION" written on its case.

At first glance it looked like collection of some mid-90s internal infomercials for Amazonbar Industries, global shipping and delivery conglomerate.

But... as I started to browse trough contents of the CD I have found something else. It seems like it is some kind of a software, that has been used (or rather was planned to be used, as I have never heard about that before) to boost productivity of Amazonbar's employees.

I could not make my mind of it, and I would love to ask my mother, who probably brought that CD home, as worked as a software engineer in their software division, unfortunately she has died in a car accident back in 1996.

There was what it looks like an internal memo attached to the case, containing following statement:

```

Dear [employee name],

If you read this, your manager probably noted considerable decrease in your productivity. Here in Amazonbar

Industries, we expect everyone in our staff to do their best to keep the operation running. However, we understand, that in the end everyone is just a human.

With that in mind, we are incredibly happy to inform you, that you have met the conditions to enter the test run

of 'Deeper Sleep' program. At Amazonbar, we do care about our staff member's happiness and well-being (that's

why we don't need worker unions!), and we are 100% sure, that software you are about to use will do just that.

Amazonbar Software has made sure, that program you are about to use is 100% safe for your health*, and we are

making sure, that every employee enters it as a volunteer**.

So waste no time, start the program immediately and get ready, to deliver a better future even more efficiently!

Sincerely,

[Heads of HR department name]

Director of HR Department

* By using DEEPER SLEEP you recognize, that Amazonbar Industries is responsible for any negative effect of that

software

** Refusal to take part in that experiment may result in losing holiday benefit, or immediate termination of your contract

```

I could not make my mind of it, so I dumped the CD into a zip archive (the .exe seems to run surprisingly well even on Windows 10), feel free to download it, and see for yourself.
