In fiction and drama – and in reality too – tech companies have either become cults or try to be cults. Why is that? Are they any different from ordinary corporations? South Mimms U investigates the religious impulse that’s common in tech companies – from start-ups to multi-billion dollar multinationals – and uncovers a strange local company called Qamquat – that’s Kumquat with a ‘Q’ – where all the board members have to be celibate as if they’re in a religious order. Nothing is quite as it seems.
The only university that makes you chuckle AND learn at the same time.
