A story of luck, money, and fraud. The life and times, friends and lovers, trials and tribulations, hopes and disappointments of Lakshmi Stein, as narrated in the first person by Ms. Stein, a brainy, beautiful, liberated, American-born South Asian. A modern tragedy of Oedipal proportions, Moby Dx is the most original treatment of incest since Sophocles. This the first social novel of Silicon Valley, a bonfire of our vanities, written by a long time insider who knows the technologies, the pathologies, where the bodies are buried, and his way around a sentence, too. A history of molecular biology from Mendel to modern commercialization, and a history of technology transfer from Vannevar Bush to contermporary patent licensing, both are woven into this hyper-real fiction of life as it is in and near Palo Alto, California. Ms. Stein tracks the arc of Persian, Russian, Chinese, French, Kashmiri, Indian, and even American characters as they make their way to Silicon Valley, ultimately to form Moby Dx LLC, whose key product is the Molecular Stethoscope. As such, Moby Dx is a how-to and how-not-to on entrepreneuring, with special emphasis on due diligence vis a vis business partner selection. Note: Parental Advisory, content of a explicit sexual nature within.

THE ARTIST. In a letter to his sister Wilhemina, Van Gogh wrote: 'Often it seems to me night is even more richly coloured than day.' In this night painting, the sky is Prussian blue, ultramarine and cobalt, with sparkling yellow gaslights and stars. The spot depicted is in Arles, close to the Yellow House he famously rented. THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
