Sex Drugs and Unix

by Alex Morton

Eddie’s a super programmer who has identified his three pillars of happiness; sex, drugs and Unix. His is the title story in an interconnected series of short stories about the days when Silicon Valley was like a Wild West show. Annamaria might only be a marketing junior, but she’s already acquired the sharp teeth of a mature shark. Harry Robertson is a venture capitalist with an appetite for scotch who lurches his way to success. Bojo Johnson inadvertently hires the King of severance and is present for the crowning of the new Queen. These are the people who really built the computer industry. Their stories are funny, deep, unique and authentic. Now readers can step into a time when America boomed with technology and shook with its intensity.
