Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be in the thick of things in Silicon Valley in the early 1980s? This debut novel by ML Brei introduces us to a cast of characters who mean well in the pursuit of excellence. The team has been brought together to be the first to create a personal computer. And their focus on this one pursuit is impressive. However, there is miscommunication all along the way. And there is love.

Just who is a “different type of soul”? Could it be Tabitha, unusually well-organized and competent for someone at the start of her career. Maybe it’s Dieter, tall and lanky and always sees the bright side of things. It couldn’t possibly be Annette, as she has opted for a traditional role of wife and mother.
