It doesn't give two cents for post-modern preening or cold intellectual approaches.... It reaches back to the conventions of straightforward storytelling and pays close attention to the way women get by, the way they come to forgive one another, the way they choose who they will be. .

New York: Random House. Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket; Paper binding is barely worn at the neck and foot bands. 3/1/1997 0:00:00. A Silicon Valley Novel; First Edition. Hardcover. Looks nearly new. Spine still square and binding like new. Dust jacket has some very small wrinkles, smoothed out nicely by the new mylar cover. ; 6x9.5; 291 pages; From BooklistAfter a successful debut with Bombardiers (1995) , an antic about the bond market, Bronson presents another humorous take on another frantic corner of capitalism, the computer business. The heroes, a quartet of klutzy, ill-dressed, slumming twentysomething castoffs from a design lab, decide to start up their own company. Their "righteous" (in the hip Silicon Valley slang that Bronson slings around) idea is to build a PC costing $300. Success would make them the next iron men, kings of computers, successors to Jobs and Wozniak and Gates. A few problems impede their ascent to cyberglory, and scrambling for venture capital (as Team Plaid, dressed in garish golf clothes for their first sales pitch) is the least of them. Malevolence emanates from the most ferrous iron man of all, Francis Benoit, who manipulates the start uppers out of their stock; but Benoit's victory is Pyrrhic, as Team Plaid guts the value of Benoit's ill-gotten gain by giving it away on the Web. Satirical and hilariously high-energy; bestsellerdom portends. Gilbert Taylor . (more information)
