A pitch-perfect riff on Silicon Valley culture that follows the daily struggles, triumphs, and awesome celebrity encounters of Fake Steve Jobs
Welcome to the mind, to the world of Fake Steve Jobs. Fake Steve the counterintuitive management guru: Obviously we cant literally put our employees lives at risk. But we have to make them feel that way. Fake Steve the political hobnobber: I can see why they keep Nancy Pelosi under wraps. Wacky as a dime watch. Fake Steve quoting friend/musician/philosopher Bono on road etiquette: Tink 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, himself: Geniuses 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 worlds: Its 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. Likewise, I have this gift. Its who I am.

Fake Steve Jobs is an award-winning writer of fiction and nonfiction with something of an insider's knowledge of the high-tech industry. He decided to use his powers for good by starting up the wildly popular blog "The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs" (http: //fakesteve.blogspot.com), which created the persona and voice for this novel.
