Description

In 1986, San Francisco is a city on the cusp of change. For Martin Hench, a former MIT dropout, this means a new chance to reinvent himself as a forensic accountant in the digital age. When he's hired by a Silicon Valley startup, Fidelity Computing, to investigate a group of disgruntled ex-employees, he quickly discovers he's on the wrong side. The company he's ditching is run by "greasy old guys", while the real action is happening at Computing Freedom, a startup in the heart of the Mission. Here, brilliant young women are taking on the tech giants, but they have no idea the depth of evil they're up against. As Martin becomes embroiled with Computing Freedom, he and his new allies must navigate a city where companies eat each other alive. With no idea of the risks they're taking, they'll be lucky to escape with their lives. This is a story about the dark side of ambition and the power of technology to shape our world. In this gripping thriller, Cory Doctorow explores the cutthroat world of Silicon Valley, where the stakes are high and the players are ruthless.
