Bronson's last novel,
Bombardiers, was wonderful, so
it comes as no surprise that his latest novel is just marvelous.
What does it take for entrepreneurs to risk everything,
develop a product, start a company, and take it public?
When social idealism, corporate politics, petty jealousies,
money fever--all part of the business landscape in Silicon Valley--meet, the
results make for a fun, fast-paced read.
And if you're familiar with the culture of Silicon
Valley, you'll find yourself asking if this is a novel or a chronicle of the
times.
Just make sure you clear your calendar before picking
up this book--you won't be doing anything else until you finish.
Book Description
Dazzling and outrageous, Po Bronson's The First $20 Million Is Always the
Hardest is a knowing, eye-opening, and unrelentingly funny insider's look
at the ultimate millenial adventure: the gold rush in Silicon Valley. It is
a novel that brazenly opens up the American dream and lays out its twisted
circuitry for all to see.
From the Publisher
"A crafty, funny and sympathetic depiction of a world that's
high-tech to the max, but very human for all that ... With a fresh and affectionate
eye, Bronson depicts the fragile egos and brilliance of 'ironmen' as the negotiate
the real world."
