Silicon Valley Dot Com Era IPO Relived

Excellent depiction of the peri-Y2K startup culture, business opportunities, job situations, work conditions, and the characters’ physical, emotional, and philosophical challenges and reflections. I worked at the same startup as the author in those same early days and enjoyed reliving that time through this novel. Beautifully narrated and spiced with some drama, mystery, and romance the story is packaged into an insightful and entertaining read.
