Title: the underbelly of a weird subculture
Review: The reviews here of this book amused me as much as the book itself distressed me. Like Po, I'm a Stanford grad. Unlike Po, I'm about 5 years too old to have gotten in on the dot-com bubble. I graduated into a recession! The mindset of most of these disappointed dot-commers is quite familiar to me. It's a subcultural attitude that led me and many of my set of Stanford "misfit" friends in droves to the campus counseling center to examine our "lack of ambition."If you spend your late teens and early twenties "searching for meaning," you can move on and pursue or attempt to pursue a suitable career path with an adequate balance of financial and psychological rewards. If you spend your late teens and early twenties indulging fantasies of unlimited riches and "taking over the world" with sandcastle businesses you end up having to do your young, strident phase in middle age!
