This is from "Turn of the Century" by Kurt Andersen, founder of Spy
magazine. An everyday story of startups, IPOs, bandwidth, billionaires
and Microsoft:
"I think I would like Seattle," Emily says," except for the rain. That
innocence, and the missionary spirit. Like writers, but not cynical."
"Please," George says.
"No, Emily's right," Lizzie says, recanting for the moment her recent
renunciation of Seattle. "The dream of the big score out there isn't so
much about getting rich or getting famous or getting laid or getting
invited to fab parties."
"Because they're already rich," George says.
"No, no," his wife says. "They sincerely believe that they're bringing
the new world into being. It's sort of creepy. And admirable."
"Do they do drugs, Pollyanna asks Lizzie.
"I don't think so, much," Lizzie says. "But you know, that constant
tingle out there, even more than down in the Valley - the money, IPO,
next-big-thing mania - reminds me a lot of cocaine. Not just their
speediness, but their intoxication with their brilliance and their
infallibility."
"Mormons on coke" Warren says. "Truly frightening."
