For all of you who believe computers and those who really understand them can solve pretty much any problem, this book is for you. If you don't, well, it's still a fun read.
A tech-savvy guy gets laid off from a west coast start up and needs to find a job to pay the rent. Being a clerk in an old style book store in San Francisco seems to fill the bill and the story gets strange and interesting from there. The store is two things in one and the less obvious thing is interesting and mysterious. The plot goes all over the place and our clerk/detective calls on some very capable tech buddies to figure out what is going on. The characters are likable, the plot is kind of out there but worth holding on to, and the solution this crew is able to accomplish would be great if techies were always this good. Now if this same group could keep software issues that I use from crashing my computer and telling me I've made a fatal error, I'd be a happy camper. Enjoy.
