Fake Steve Jobs
Welcome to the mind, to the world of Fake Steve Jobs. Fake Steve the counterintuitive management guru: ?Obviously we can’t literally put our employees’ lives at risk. But we have to make them feel that way." Fake Steve the political hobnobber: ?I can see why they keep Nancy Pelosi under wraps. Wacky as a dime watch." Fake Steve quoting friend/musician/philosopher Bono on road etiquette: ?Tink about dat next toim yer cuttin off some bloke and you don’t know who it is, right? Could be Jay-sus. Or Boutros Boutros-Ghali or sumfin." And on, yes, himself: ?Geniuses have feelings, too." In the tradition of Thank You for Smoking and in the spirit of The Onion, Options is a novelistic sendup and takedown of Silicon Valley, Hollywood, and Washington, D.C., as viewed by a central character who exists, to his immense self-satisfaction, at the crossroads of all three worlds: ?It’s like in one of those movies where a guy realizes he’s got telekinetic powers and it’s just too bad if he doesn’t want them, he’s got them. Likewise, I have this gift. It’s who I am.
