My comments: One night I discovered that the yellow bars on the book spine and cover GLOW IN THE DARK!!! This was definitely a funky - and totally enjoyable - book. There were a lot of "technological" references that went right over my head, but that didn't impede the reading. I'm not even sure that Mr. Sloan didn't even just fabricate a lot of that part. A clever story, set in San Francisco, and about young computer "nerds." Fun.
