May I humbly suggest this long-but-interesting 2008 New Yorker article about elevators, if you haven’t already read this seminal work in the genre?

May I also suggest "Going Down the Pipes" by Darcy Frey. Written in 1996 about the strange and stressful world of air traffic controllers at Newark airport. Well-written long form journalism on display. https://www.topic.com/going-down-the-pipes

This is one of those articles I think about constantly. Especially when I get on the elevator. I wish we had more articles like this.
