Set in the near-future (2008), Exit Strategy is a darkly comic send-up
of the dot.com mania of the late 1990s and a modern-day retelling of the
story of Joseph. Like Joseph, Jamie Cohen is betrayed by his compadres
but unexpectedly finds himself at the right hand of power. He helps a
huge venture capitalist build pyramids - except these are investment
pyramids based on technology idols. An additional narrative conceit is
this: 200 years later, anthropologists find the virtual manuscript of
Exit Strategy and begin annotating the text. Hundreds of readers have
already contributed footnotes for the book - they are charming, wacky,
compelling and Rushkoff has selected one hundred of his favorites for
inclusion.
