I think that if I had written the book in the past decade, perhaps Bateman would have been working in Silicon Valley, living in Cupertino with excursions into San Francisco or down to Big Sur to the Post Ranch Inn and palling around with Zuckerberg and dining at the French Laundry, or lunching with Reed Hastings at Manresa in Los Gatos, wearing a Yeezy hoodie and teasing girls on Tinder.

The rage I felt over what was being extolled as success." Tones of Palahniuk maybe. Inside every Linus Torvalds or Richard Stallman is a painfully socialised, sublimated Zuckerberg that could burst out in moment of weakness.
