"Andy Caspar is a lowly research engineer in Silicon Valley, but not for long if he can help it. His goal is to become an ""ironman"" -- the kind of guy who builds companies that change the world, like Apple, Netscape, Intel.
But right now he's at an outfit called Omega Logic, pouring his heart into a new project, without the slightest idea that his own dreams are irrelevant to the titanic power struggle raging a couple of levels above him on the corporate flowchart.
What happens to Andy Caspar is hilarious, brutal, absurd, outrageous, and mesmerizing -- as Po Bronson masterfully lays the computer industry open for all to see in the pages of this dazzling, utterly addictive novel."
