Great novel - perfect for anyone who remembers the Internet optimism of the mid-90s. The plot clunks in a couple of spots but not enough to take away the enjoyment of a well-told tale.

Good book for political enthusiasts. For North American readers (like me), it gets into a lot of small-scale personality feuds and minor issues that will seem trivial and granular.

“Neil Reynolds was one of the best persons who ever went through that place down there," J.K. reflected when he spoke to me two decades later.
"We liked him a great deal," interjected J.K.'s son Jim.
"The guy had great talent, great vision," J.K. added. "Mr. Reynolds hit the ball out of the ballpark."
In August of 1994, Neil Reynolds was fired.”
