When the buzzwords fly higher than the hot air balloons, who's left holding the string?

Tessa Hayward knows how to survive the corporate game. She's navigated endless restructures, toxic managers, and meetings that should have been emails. But when her sharp insights are drowned out by charismatic colleagues armed with nothing but sandwiches and slogans, she makes a dangerous discovery: in today's workplace, sounding smart matters more than being smart.

As promotions go to the loudest voices, and "vision" replaces actual work, Tessa experiments with playing their game trading substance for sparkle. Suddenly, she's rising fast, quoted in PowerPoints, and praised as a "strategic thought leader." But the higher she floats, the more she wonders: is she still herself, or just another balloon full of corporate gas?

Air Heads is a biting, laugh-out-loud satire about modern workplaces, where buzzwords are currency, charisma trumps competence, and everyone's just one TEDx metaphor away from the top. Perfect for fans of The Office, Severance, and anyone who's ever rolled their eyes at a "paradigm shift."
