praise for oPtion$ “You get the feeling Lyons planted a spycam in one of Mr. Jobs’s mock turtles.” —New York Times “Politically incorrect and breezy. . . . Options skewers Silicon Valley, with touches of Bonfire of the Vanities, Dilbert, and Revenge of the Nerds.” “A romp.” —San Francisco Chronicle —Los Angeles Times “A funny send-up of Apple`s CEO, the go-go culture of Silicon Valley, and the cult of Mac, iPhone, and iPod.” —Boston Globe “In the establishment-skewering tradition of Voltaire, Cervantes, Jonathan Swift, and Laurence Sterne. . . . Mac-slappingly funny. . . . The book is hilarious.” —Newsweek.com “Peppered with deft comic touches. . . . Even the real Steve Jobs might want to pick it up for a quick, self-enlightening way to pass some time on the Jobs Jet.” —New York Times Book Review “A gleeful send-up of the real Steve Jobs set amid the recent stock options backdating scandal. . . . Tech industry watchers who know (or know of) the players will get a kick out of seeing them skewered.” —Publishers Weekly “Takes to a new level Lyons’s depth of understanding of all things Steve Jobs, and stretches his Steve Jobs ‘voice’ to a place the blog could never go. . . . You`ll chuckle and snort and you`ll laugh at the over-the-top whimsy that IS Steve Jobs.” —CNBC.com’s “TechCheck” blog “From between the plot lines of Options bubbles a raw, honest look at Silicon Valley culture. . . . Fake Steve`s ruthless inner monologues about those around him ring truer than most nonfic-tion profiles of tech`s movers and shakers. By inserting himself into Steve Jobs’s mythical oversize shoes, Mr. Lyons has exposed the entertaining humanity behind the machines.” —Wall Street Journal oPtion$ the secret life of steve jobs a parody by fake steve jobs DA CAPO PRESS A Member of the Perseus Books Group To L.
