" Riding High in April captures the aspirational side of Silicon Valley, with all of its foibles and quirks. Jackie Townsend conveys the hope and spirit of the people who build new technologies. Timely, supremely relevant, and a great read." --Dan Lyons New York Times best-selling author of Disrupted: My Misadventure in the Start-Up Bubble "A tale of global migrants and spanning Silicon Valley, South Korea, Japan, and India, Riding High in April reminds us how international and connected our world of hi-tech is, yet at the heart of technological breakthroughs are the complex human connections that endure. Jackie Townsend skillfully captures the quest for invention and the precision of technology--'Ones and zeros don't lie. Technology is the essence of truth'--softened by hidden motivations and the journey of the heart." --Rajika Bhandari, Ph.D., author of America Calling: A Foreign Student in a Country of Possibility, "Books to Read Based on Shows You Binge-Watch"--Women.com "Townsend vividly depicts the singular cultural ethos of the tech world--that peculiar combination of microscopically diligent engineering and dreamy aspiration--and deftly dissects its global variations..." -- Kirkus Reviews " Riding High in April captures the aspirational side of Silicon Valley, with all of its foibles and quirks.

Synopsis
Featured in POPSUGAR "Best Books of 2021" * SheReads "Best Book Club Picks of Fall" * Women.com * Brit & Co. "Fifteen New Books to Read on your Summer Vacation" Inside the rising tech microcosms of Seoul, Singapore, Japan, and India, far from the mendacity of Silicon Valley, a serial tech entrepreneur pursues a last-ditch attempt to build something great: COMPASS, an open-source network platform that Microsoft has labeled "reckless." At stake are his reputation, his dwindling bank account, and his fifteen-year relationship with the only woman he's ever loveda woman in the midst of reckoning with who she is and what really matters to her in the face of the narcissism and destructiveness of the technology world. She shows up in Seoul in a big, bold move to be with him--only to find that living in Asia reshapes her in intangible, unexpected ways. Taut and richly layered, Riding High in April is a powerful evocation of our contemporary tech moment, a revealing exploration of resilience and the pursuit of something unattainable, and a moving story of love, friendship, and letting go., --For readers who liked . . .: The HBO series Silicon Valley and the book Crazy Rich Asians . There are 12 million tech workers in the US, many of whom are burnt out and have fantasies of escaping abroad; meanwhile, millennials in general are expressing an increasing desire to experience life abroad. An evocation of our contemporary tech movement. Author has an established fan base and readership from three already-published novels that delve deep into themes of displacement and crossing borders, including two that won her finalist and winner titles at the Next Generation Indie (2017) and Indie Excellence Awards (2014)., Riding High in April takes us across the world as one man risks it all for a final chance to make it big in the tech world. At stake are his reputation, his dwindling bank account, and his fifteen-year relationship with a woman grappling with who she is and what really matters to her.

    This book arrived today and could have been packaged a bit better. The vinyl shipping envelope did not protect this book from marring, damaged book corners and cover sleeve damage. The mailer was also torn. Perhaps wrapping the book in a cardboard cover will have prevented the damaged to the product inside. Would not have added anymore shipping cost of USPS Bound Printed Matter. Needs improvement in shipping. I got a good decent copy as opposed to New. The price was fair for what I receive.
