- Synopsis
- A classic story about beating roulette with the world's first wearable computers. "A veritable piñata of a book," said The New York Times, which ranges from the invention of personal computers through the history of gambling to breaking the bank in Las Vegas. "Bass has done the best job so far of capturing the marriage of technical imagination and communal coziness that gave rise to Silicon Valley," said the Los Angeles Times. "An extraordinary story," said Nature. "Behind the fun and games there lies an economic parable for the decade just passed." A madcap adventure and insanely comedic, this is "an astonishing and fascinating tale of scientific heroism," said Richard Dawkins.
