of
Cyberselfish: A Critical Romp through the Terribly Libertarian Culture of High Tech:
"Very prescient dispatch from the early days of the Silicon Valley tech boom. The gender issues & flavors of libertarian are uncannily similar to today’s tech overlords, only now they have more money and power."
