"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." geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In the basement of a distinguished research lab, Andy Caspar's engineering talents are being ignored. But his chance to become an Ironman appears when the chief engineer sets Andy up a long-neglected project - to design a computer that can sell for only $300. Matters then take a dangerous turn.

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. ( )
