Plot Summary of Microserfs
"A beautiful zeitgeisty diary of Dan, a Microsoft worker who chooses to join his friends, Karla, Susan, Abe, Todd and Bug on a risky new multimedia project for the sake of 'having a life' in a high-tech, transient world of pop culture and highly paid geek work without economic or emotional stability. A search for spiritual and emotional depth within Silicon Valley, his relationships, his family and his work with deep analysis of his life and the world." Paul Swaddle, Resident Scholar
"Richard Underwood and friends find themselves trapped in programming jobs at Microsoft. Sensing an opportunity to work for a new start-up company, they take it, finding a world outside of Microsoft in the process." Dom Passantino, Resident Scholar
"Seven programmers working in Microsoft head off to form their own company and create software. The novel describes their everyday lives in a journal entry form, from their odd discussions to their jobs as programmers, which allows them no life. " Nick, Resident Scholar
