Fake Steve Jobs,Daniel Lyons
Welcome to the mind, to the world of Fake Steve Jobs. Fake Steve the counterintuitive management guru: â€œObviously we canâ€™t ,literally, put our employeesâ€™ lives at risk. But we have to make them feel that way.â€ Fake Steve the political hobnobber: â€œI can see why they keep Nancy Pelosi under wraps. Wacky as a dime watch.â€ Fake Steve quoting friend/musician/philosopher Bono on road etiquette: â€œTink about dat next toim yer cuttin off some bloke and you donâ€™t know who it is, right? Could be Jay-sus. Or Boutros Boutros-Ghali or sumfin.â€ And on, yes, himself: â€œGeniuses have feelings, too.â€ 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 worlds: â€œItâ€™s like in one of those movies where a guy realizes heâ€™s got telekinetic powers and itâ€™s just too bad if he doesnâ€™t want them, heâ€™s got them. Likewise, I have this gift. Itâ€™s who I am.â€
