Originally published as a series of short works on Salon.com, this "dot.comedy" is the story of TeraMemory, a fictitious tech behemoth, and its attempt to revolutionize the Internet through the launch of its new product, appropriately named WHIP. As the story unfolds, the digital age is viewed through the eyes of Barry, the arrogant TeraMemory CEO; Liz, Stanford English major turned marketing assistant; Steve, a single-minded antiestablishment hacker; and Steve's best friend, Paul, possibly the last humble engineer in the entirety of Silicon Valley. As WHIP's launch date approaches, with the requisite hype and stock price gyrations, Barry is nearly one-upped by Steve and his hacker community. Meanwhile, Paul and Liz discover that e-mail communications and digital meetings are no substitute for love and human interaction.

    "An amusing look at high-tech culture from the inside. This phenomenon of our times frames a host of brilliant characters."
