Thirteen Discs
Software is like electricity: it powers everything.
In 1992 Silicon Valley companies had no nap rooms and preferred to hire people with experience. Disruption meant to impede progress. Steve Lewis leaves a company before its IPO for what he hopes will be a more satisfying job. Instead he faces a hostile boss, layoffs, a difficult project, and outside of work, a series of bad dates.
