Virus

 Matt Sperlings exceedingly readable wealth and sex and Internet start up book

Misnamed virus as it was from a prepandemic vibe - when going viral was an internet thing. Bubble would have been a better title maybe as in dotcom bubble. Anyway, cool style, some snappyish dialogue, quite sexy sex, if all a bit Jeff Koons. The plot was about making money and somehow I did quite like Ned which was stretch given his attitudes, violence and generally slightly tory / ayn rand vibe.  Maybe it was challenging for me to read the line about it just being better to win. Maybe actually it was just a fun shiny romp about being a cool selfish person.  Not sure what knowing Matt did for it- certainly wasn't making him likeable. I am impressed he wrote it though
