Alice Butler has been receiving some odd messages - all anonymous, all written in code. Are they from someone at PopCo, the profit-hungry corporation she works for? Or from Alice's long lost father? Or has someone else been on her trail?
The solution, she is sure, will involve the code-breaking skills she learned from her grandparents and the key she's been wearing round her neck since she was ten.
PopCo is a grown-up adventure of family secrets, puzzles, big business and the power of numbers.
An anticorporate fable with enough code-breaking tips, puzzles and graphs, charts, postscripts and appendixes to satisfy Lewis Carroll * * New York Times * *

A blueprint for a revolution . . . an outright amazement * * Scotland on Sunday * *
Enormous fun * * Independent * *
A wonderfully fresh and ambitious novel -- Jonathan Coe * * Evening Standard * *
Frankly this novel is a bewitching, dizzying triumph * * Scotsman * *
Ambitious, thought-provoking fun * * Sunday Times * *
