Po Bronson unleashes his furious talent on Silicon Valley, ripping the lid off the computer industry. In the basement of a distinguished research lab, Andy Caspar's engineering talents are being ignored.

But just as the team is on the verge of success, their work becomes a threat to other interests in the lab -and Andy must become far more than a programmer if he wants to survive.
