Exciting story about the .com craze!
Upon reading Gary L. M. Martin's latest book "Oogle.com" I found myself immersed in the creation of the .com world and Neuron Valley (Silicone Valley). The writer has left little doubt that there's a close connection between the real internet boom and his futuristic fantasy scenario, but you'll enjoy it all the more because of it.
The story talks a lot about the creation of Achoo!, Headbook, Oogle.com and it's creators, I enjoyed reading about the creators and what the fictional characters went through to get their dreams off the ground. Gary drops in references to real life occurrences letting the reader know, that at least part of his story has a basis in fact and that lends a little bit of credibility to the story.
Gary tells us that all inventions are created because of sex, and in this book you can't help but believe that's 100% true. I loved reading how Mark Sugarman, like most young men, is constantly thinking about sex and this in turn ends up with him getting wrapped around this young Chinese girl Priscilla's, finger. I mean what girl doesn't want to wrap a young, up and coming rich man around her finger, he basically falls at her feet.
The book has some sex in it, which makes Gary's stories even more fascinating as he can write a book that captures your imagination and heats your blood simultaneously. I enjoyed reading the corporate espionage, family drama and the rise and fall of the mighty corporate warriors.

Great funny book. Don't read if easily offended
This is the anti PC book making fun of the idea of being overly PC.
Satiric writing wrapped in humor, entirely NSFW and bordering on erotic literature.
Its definitely a different approach and a bit of fresh air in the sci-fi what-if genre.
