The Street — Lee Gruenfeld

A razor-sharp, blisteringly on-target thriller set in the world of dot-com start-up madness. James Vincent Hanley, a Wall Street Stockbroker specializing in Internet start-ups and unhappily slaving away for a subsistence wage of only $300,000, finally decides to jump to the other side of the Street and into the biggest game in history. He's learned the dot-com lesson well and launches his own start-up, Artemis-5.com, with ingredients that are pure dynamite - technology so cutting edge it's barely decipherable, a world class board of directors whose credentials command a lemming-like public following and carefully orchestrated Street buzz of epic proportions.
