American History 1988

In the dying days of the 1980s, the Rust Belt crumbles around a country boy trapped by debt and decline. As the American Dream’s gates groan shut, he claws his way from hippie communes to anti-government protests, chasing freedom through Silicon Valley’s rising tide. From HP to Apple, from college to startup chaos, he gambles everything to join the 0.1%. But ambition demands sacrifice. Will the cost of breaking into the 1% leave him hollow? A raw tale of grit, greed, and the price of upward mobility in a fractured era. Add to Library Chapter list Read first
