The Book of Darwin – SUMMARY
Darwin’s a Silicon Valley entrepreneur in the early “dot.com” era, whose team focuses on capabilities to help humanity. When their startup is inadvertently sold to nefarious Chinese agents, they must reconcile their guilt while wrestling with their moral obligations to society. Darwin’s solution is to sequester himself in the New Mexico wilderness away from technology’s temptation. With help of his colorful neighbor, Victor, Darwin adapts to his off-grid self-sustaining life and things are going good until Tien, his former protege, needs help fixing the mess she made trying to fix what happened at Berkeley
Anna, who Darwin rescues from drunk Texans, admires Taos Valley’s eccentric recluse because she sees past Darwin’s unpolished exterior to the person he’s striving to become. She doesn’t know the details of what happened at Berkeley but accepts the redemption journey Darwin’s on is littered with dragons he must slay. Helping Tien brings Darwin’s old technology team back together, forcing them to confront past mistakes as they devise strategies to take on Information Oligarchs while saving humanity from itself; they just have to hope this round don’t result in a repeat performance of their last disaster.
