Rick Dakan's self published novel is generating a good bit of blog buzz as a fun read. He's selling it for only a fiver, or you can download the pdf for free (Note: Right-click and save target if you don't want your browser to poop all over you.). I haven't read it yet, but the blurb is right up my alley:
"Fired from a job he hated at a company he loved, videogame designer Paul Reynolds is drowning his sorrows in late-morning margaritas when he meets an alluring, pink-haired conwoman named Chloe. With her gang of techno-pirate friends, Chloe helps Paul not only take revenge on his former employers, but also extort a small fortune from them in the process. What more could a recently unemployed, over-worked videogame designer in Silicon Valley ask for?"
