Clyde Guild, Guild to all who knew him beyond a quick "nice-to-meetcha," spent most of his life as a cultural vagabond, hitching through life, rarely solvent, always happy. Until, a simple foray into the strange world of the software start-up, with the express purpose of acquiring sufficient funds to retire early, led him on a ride from which he may never recover. May this book be a warning to all-and a few laughs for most. ...a terrible piece of fiction that had me rolling on the floor with laughter. I could not put it down. --The author's mother.
