This is an awesome book - if you have been in startups like I have where you were hustling for seed money or capital, you'll love this book. Set in Woodside, the places will be familiar to you if you're in the Silicon Valley VC/startup world.

The first Bronson book I read.... a must read to establish geek cred.. A satire novel on Apple and Microsoft ...

I feel that in this book, Bronson has humanized Silicon Valley to an extent. The main characters in this book are actually fleshed out characters and not stereotyped uber-geeks.
Some of the other reviewers said that the book glosses over the technical aspects of computers too much. I disagree. I don't think Bronson dumbed down the computer explanations as much as summarized them in normal language. Having a lot of technical info in this book would detract from the main thing, which is the story.
All in all, Bronson has written a fine book. The book has lots of twists and turns and is a page turned until the end.

OH my gosh, there's a terrible looking movie version written by The Jon Favreau.
To the Netflix!
