Plot:The story follows Thomas "Tommy" Henderson and focuses on the deplored, brushed-under-the-carpet experiences he has while living in the Silicon Valley, often erring on the side of sardonic comedy. Tommy is lazy a part-time forensic science trainee who works for the San Jose Police Department. He is by no means an angel, he frequently lies, cheats, and steals. His friends are no better; most of them work in the computer and information technology industry and can afford to live in drug-induced utopias thanks to their hefty paychecks. The story will be a combination of roman a clef and satire. Narrative was originally supposed to be a screenplay but was written as a novel to speed things up. Novel will later be adapted to screenplay format at later date and the film will be somewhat like Slacker (1991) where it will follow characters around, but will focus mostly on Tommy and different plots come together. Themes that I originally planned to include: Wall Street in the Silicon Valley, nature (good) vs. city (bad), technology dependence, drugs, and millennial generation issues.
