Options: The Secret Life of Steve Jobs
of Fake Steve Jobs, Daniel Lyons
Description
Welcome to the mind, to the world of Fake Steve Jobs. Fake Steve the counterintuitive management guru: âObviously we canât literally put our employeesâ lives at risk. But we have to make them feel that way.â Fake Steve the political hobnobber: âI can see why they keep Nancy Pelosi under wraps. Wacky as a dime watch.â Fake Steve quoting friend/musician/philosopher Bono on road etiquette: âTink about dat next toim yer cuttin off some bloke and you donât know who it is, right? Could be Jay-sus. Or Boutros Boutros-Ghali or sumfin.â And on, yes, himself: âGeniuses have feelings, too.â In the tradition of Thank You for Smoking and in the spirit of The Onion, Options is a novelistic sendup and takedown of Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and Washington, D.C., as viewed by a central character who exists, to his immense self-satisfaction, at the crossroads of all three worlds: âItâs like in one of those movies where a guy realizes heâs got telekinetic powers and itâs just too bad if he doesnât want them, heâs got them. Likewise, I have this gift. Itâs who I am.â
