Title: This book is a disappointment.
Product review: The premise of this book is standard Po Bronson; he takes his shallow understanding of Silicon Valley life, and tries to over-glamourize and "sexify" it.The book makes a wan attempt at incorporating real elements of high-tech, but his lack of understanding of technology is bothersome enough to undermine any suspense of disbelief.His description of the engineers is drawn from 70's stereotypes, not the way engineers are today. He has too many anecdotes that have no purpose other than to simulate a true understanding of Valley culture.A real disappointment, and clearly an attempt to appeal to both the lowest common denominator, and movie executives.
