PAUL GRAHAM

Graham, who works in the computer world but also studied painting, informs general readers about programmers, programming, and the businesses and business world they are creating. He explains why nerds are unpopular even before they get rich and arrogant, and how they make so much money that they get dates despite their personalities. To some extent, he offers a guide to readers interested in following that path. Annotation © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
