Oh god, there's so much good stuff here. I'm going to screenshot some select bits... The take home message is it's just a puff piece on Wu's fabricated past. All empty boasting, nothing useful for anyone who reads it. Some of my favourite bits:
This is incredible bullshit. I grew up in the 80s, and EVERYONE had a computer whether they were rich or poor. My family had a BBC Micro, some people had Ataris, others ZX Spectrums. I don't think I knew anyone with a Mac, but maybe there were some. We didn't get our first IBM compatible until 1992 though, and I think we were a little behind the curve in that respect.
There's a whole section on Wu's life as a juvenile delinquent that I believe to be a complete fabrication, it's shot through with detectable lies, like this one:
This cannot conceivably be true. Wu would have been 20 years old when 56K modems first came on the market. He was not still in high school. Remember that John Flynt was a fat weirdo at time, everything about these tales screams "fiction!"
Then, of course, the obligatory lies about being a college graduate:
Hah, wouldn't getting a graduate degree first involve having an undergraduate degree, Wu? You fucking charlatan.
Remember, this book was written in April of last year and it shows. In retrospect, Wu may find this part a bit embarrassing:
"We're about to ship, guys!" "We're totally going to get millions of bucks to build our visual novel thing!" Ooops.
She sums up with "Telling you some of my life story is a deeply uncomfortable experience for me." I'll bet it is, it must be hard keeping all those lies straight in your head.
