This work portrays fictional characterizarions of persons, events and
institutions without any regard to actualization. Any similarities to
actualities are coincidental and unintentional. However, this fictional
work is set within the reality of Silicon Valley. Some events and
institutions are actual and used as literary reference points. These
inclusions are not an attempt to portray them in any other fashion than
is commonly known.
"A man --- a viewing point man --- while he will love the abstract good
qualities and detest the abstract bad, will nevertheless envy and admire
the person who through possessing the bad qualities has succeeded
economically and socially, and will hold in contempt that person whose
good qualities has caused failure ... he would rather be successful than
good ... (he) might be described fairly adequately, if simply, as a
two-legged paradox."
from:
John Steinbeck, The Log from "The Sea of Cortez."
