"We suck. We are a bunch of liars. And we are going to lay off a lot of people."
Sam's life revolves around two things � writing code and drinking beer. But then, he is a Silicon Valley geek and he is willing to give up any hopes of a personal life for his chance to "change the world.�
But Sam is up against George the CFO, though he doesn't know it yet. The scheming number-cruncher upstairs, who in his own words "never loses time in sending the scapegoat to the slaughter-house," has a plan of his own.
But the best laid plans � Sam's or George's � can go astray, and they do. Both Sam and George now have to navigate the world in their own ways while the projects fail, the clients walk away and the business goes into a tailspin...
At once hilarious and tragic, set in Silicon Valley and full of office politics, Closure of the Helpdesk has been hailed as �too uncomfortably close to the truth.� Put simply, this business-themed novel is a mirror to life if you�re a geek � or a window to it if you aren�t.
Chapter titles include Donuts Beat People, The Slave Club and Dude, Where's My Bailout. Pick up a copy today and prepare to be entertained!
�That�s exactly the problem with any �simple truth��in the end it always takes a gaggle of complete idiots or a team of all-knowing geniuses to miss it.�
