After investing much of his time into CIA, Jack eventually ventures on to starting his own start-up company providing him a whole new experience of navigating through the passions of the start-up industry. The novel takes us through early development in Silicon Valley when ideas about where the Internet would take society and what technologies would sell were mere predictions, through to the booming technological age we are in currently.

Jackowski goes into detail about how tech companies are managed, including everything from administrative support to stock options and outside company acquisitions. The novel highlights the glamour of the tech start-up industry: But it also explores the consequences of being overzealous, of too much wealth, and the legality of tough competition.

I also liked how Jackowski juxtaposed the development of his companies in the Silicon Valley alongside other world events, such as the tearing down of the Berlin Wall, Chernobyl, the Iran-Contra affair, Tiananmen Square, Y2K, and the rise of the Internet, for example. I think it helped to add depth to a developing industry by including other important events in the same timeline.
