Tracy Kidder, the "get good at of the nonfiction narrative" (The Baltimore Sunlight) and writer of the best-selling typical The Heart of a fresh Machine, now instructs the storyline of Paul British, a kinetic and unconventional inventor and business owner who as a son rebelled against authority. Growing up in working-class Boston, British discovered a medium for his skills the first time he observed a computer. As a young man, despite suffering from what would eventually be diagnosed as bipolar disorder, he commenced his pilgrim's journey through the fluctuations in the fearless new world of computers. Associated with the Internet as if it were an expansion of his own brain, he discovered that he had a talent for conceiving innovative businesses and building clubs that can form them, becoming "a Pied Piper" of geeks. His innovative management style, success, and innate sense of fair play inspire strong loyalty. Early on one colleague witnessed, "Someday this boy's heading to get struck by a truck filled with money, and I'll be located beside him". Yet when British do indeed make a fortune - when the travel website Kayak was sold for almost $2 billion - the very first thing he thought about was how to give the amount of money away: "What else will you do with it?" The second thing he thought was, "What's next?" With the power of any consummate storyteller, Tracy Kidder casts a brand new, critical, and often humorous eye on the way new ideas and new money are reshaping our culture and the world. A Truck Filled with Money is a mesmerizing portrait of the irresistibly endearing man who is indefatigable, original, and as unstable as America itself.
