Daniel Lyons, Books, Fiction and Literature, Options: The Secret Life of Steve Jobs, Welcome to the mind—to the world—of Fake Steve Jobs. Fake Steve the counterintuitive management guru: “Obviously we can’t literally put our employees’ lives at risk. But we have to make them feel that way.” Fake Steve the celebrity hobnobber: “I like Bono. He’s the only person I know who’s more self-absorbed than I am.”Options is the book that had the critics howling—with laughter:“A voice for our own digital age....Mac-slappingly funny.”—Newsweek.com “Hilarious.”—New York Times “There’s a laugh-out-loud moment on nearly each one of the book’s pages.”—Wall Street Journal “Wickedly funny.”—San Francisco Chronicle.

Auflage: Revised. (22. Oktober 2007) Hardcover 248 S. 20,8 x 14 x 2,3 cm Gebundene Ausgabe In this tedious parody of the life of Apple founder Steve Jobs, the pseudonymous Fake Steve Jobs (identified in the New York Times this month as Forbes senior editor Daniel Lyons) offers a gleeful sendup of the real Steve Jobs set amid the recent stock options backdating scandal. Throughout, the fake Steve pontificates on everything from his superior management skills (only promote stupid people) to his role in the development of the iPhone (it involves a lot of non-thinking meditation), and is portrayed as a cold, callow narcissist. Blissfully unaware of the legal firestorm raging around him, a mathlexic Fake Steve goes about his daily business, balancing meditation with the firing of employees while the Apple board of directors scrambles to avoid prison time and find a scapegoat. As the fictitious Apple corporation implodes, Fake Steve must decide whether to jump ship or stand by the company. Tech industry watchers who know (or know of) the players will get a kick out of seeing them skewered, but readers who aren`t already tuned in to the Silicon Valley technocracy may not quite get it. Fake Steve doesn`t really evolve as a character, but as a grotesque caricature, he`s fun to watch. Welcome to the mind, to the world of Fake Steve Jobs. Fake Steve the counterintuitive management guruObviously we cant literally put our employees lives at risk. But we have to make them feel that way. Fake Steve the political hobnobberI can see why they keep Nancy Pelosi under wraps. Wacky as a dime watch. Fake Steve quoting friend/musician/philosopher Bono on road etiquetteTink about dat next toim yer cuttin off some bloke and you dont know who it is, right? Could be Jay-sus. Or Boutros Boutros-Ghali or sumfin. And on, yes, himselfGeniuses have feelings, too. In the tradition of Thank You for Smoking and in the spirit of The Onion, Options is a novelistic sendup and takedown of Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and Washington, D. C. , as viewed by a central character who exists, to his immense self-satisfaction, at the crossroads of all three worldsIts like in one of those movies where a guy realizes hes got telekinetic powers and its just too bad if he doesnt want them, hes got them.
