Hm.. I feel I learned something about the Silicon Valley IPO life, but this novel leaves a bitter taste, with the end message being that you don't need to have a vision or an idea to become a SF bigshot, you only need to want to be in control. And instead of being an empowering message - the protagonist is an Asian woman after all - it comes off as a bit hollow. Especially since it didn't feel clear that's what the novel was building towards.
