Everything goes faster in Silicon Valley: code is written overnight; engineers get around the office on aerodynamic skateboards called RipStiks; a company less than ten years old is worth $104 billion for a day before losing $35 billion in value ...”

“... that war with Germany was imminent and Cameron telephoned home to give his wife, the novelist Elizabeth Bowen, the news.
