Sam's life revolves around two things: writing code and drinking beer. And his friends -- Jen the smarty-pants, Kris the immigrant and Vick the wisecracker -- are only marginally better. But then, they work for a hot startup in Silicon Valley and they are willing to give up any hopes of a personal life for the chance to change the world, one buggy piece of code at a time. And Sam has a plan...

But Sam is up against George the CFO, though he doesn't know it yet. The scheming number-cruncher upstairs, who in his own words never loses time in sending the scapegoat to the slaughter-house, has a plan of his own.

But the best laid plans -- Sam's or George's -- can go astray, and they do. Both Sam and George now have to navigate the world in their own ways while the most promising project quickly fizzles out, the funding dries up, the clients walk away and nobody knows what's coming next. But in the end, are cold numbers more important than the hottest new ideas? Do dreams have a place amid a shaky economy and an uncertain future?

Chapter titles include Donuts Beat People, The Slave Club and SEC, Lies and Financial Results. Yes, this is where Wall Street meets Microserfs. Pick up a copy today and prepare to be entertained!
