The Silicon Valley consumes the media and manufactures the glittery dust of our wildest imaginations. Within its invisible valley walls, unlike any other place in this world, a unique intersection of life and work gave birth to an entirely new culture and frame of mind. Nothing I've read so far has captured it snapshot-for-dramatic-snapshot better than Po Bronson's The Nudist on the Late Shift. In devoting each chapter to a different cog in the hi-tech wheel: the entrepreneur, the programmer, the futurist, the dreamer, Bronson winds a gripping path around the larger story of this new rush to the West. These true tales, candy-coated with enough literary spin to keep fiction-enthusiasts amused, will entertain, educate, and inspire.
