The whole Silicon Valley is oxymoronic — geeky and rich and hip. - Microserfs by Douglas Coupland

So, I read Microserfs again.  The first time I read it must have been 1998 or so.  I loved it.  I mean, I wanted to live inside it.  That was a long time ago.  I had forgotten most of the details.  I didn’t, for example, remember that most of the action actually takes place in Silicon Valley.  Or that it’s essentially about a startup.  I almost read it again about five years ago, but somehow I wanted to wait.  I thought, maybe it’s not great like I remembered it, or…something.  

Funny, when I read it the first time the places would have meant nothing to me and surely some of the things they mentioned I wouldn’t have known about, such as the ENIAC.  It is funny too how relevant it is to today.  And most of all - here is the book I wanted to live inside?  Well, guys.  Here we are.  Here. we. are.
