    Stir outrageous characters in a thick sauce of greed and you have the recipe for Silicon Valley Game. This is a humorous, naughty book that really dishes. Everyone searching Google is curious to peek inside lives caught in the Silicon Valley Game. What will they find? Answer - backstabbing, gossip and juicy scheming. A woman bodybuilder holds inquisitions in The Pit and dueling CEOs fire paint balls at each other. Escort girls serve only guys with platinum credit cards. Workers trade secrets and sex, afraid they will wake up betrayed by confidants and lovers. Silicon Valley Game uses humor to unveil poignant truths, hidden from the public. It isn't easy to get inside that world. The area is famous, yet haunted by paranoid secrecy. In this challenging environment, the author sold her services to firms like Google, Apple and eBay. The curious anthropologist in her was delighted by the Valley's tribes and their humorous, ironic and sometimes tragic ways....

Reviews :

    One of the country’s largest banks has been robbed of a unique asset. Stolen were critical account records for the wealthiest clients. The exposure for the bank and the clients is tremendous. How many? Which accounts? All unknown, only copies were taken.

Anderson Lytel, Founder of Georgia Security Bank, needs the situation contained and resolved before the clients become aware, or worse, have assets stolen. Lytel, colorful, eccentric and reclusive, recruits the services of Nathan Van Hearst, a small computer business operator in Delbain, Georgia. Nathan has built a reputation in the area of ‘forensic data recovery’. He has the tools and ability to recover information from computers where files were thought to be unrecoverable. The story contains danger and intrigue throughout. The topic of identity theft is covered well as is Nathan’s interesting, colorful and sometimes hilarious life in a small southern town.
